My dr Charlie-

.                                   If you can make it convenient send along the $100.00 check for the closing up the collateral tax business - Rooney & I will lend it in properties to the money we paid out & write in a receipt for it etc

I wrote to your man J Danaman in Lexington on the real estate business

My intention is to sell out then & buy elsewhere - My only wonder is that I should not have seen it to be wise thing earlier-

Yours very truly & hastily

Fitz Lee
