[year conjectural] Colt writes that Mr. O. is very low with funds, but has consented to discount the note for Myers. He begs Myers to hand him the mortgage or assignment of the property. Suggests that Beale Spurrier should draw assignment of John's lease.

Colt is disappointed that John can't "take up your note." He doesn't know where to borrow R & J G who are short themselves. Colt must have the mortgage John promised him. Send it to Beale Spurrier who will draw the transfer.

Cold has no reply from his previous note (Item 2, Folder 11, Box 2). Doesn't know what to do, must raise money. [Note in John's hand says no written answer to these notes, but sent Mr. C. the deed of conveyance of S. Etting to J. Myers with promissory note for $5130.]

Colt asks John to execute the enclosed assignment of his lease before two witnesses and sign the three enclosed notes totaling $5262.48 including $131.82 in interest. On payment he will return the assignment which need not be recorded.

Colt writes, "If I am not furnished today with the assignment I shall be under the necessity of putting your note into the Bank for collection.  I beg you to let me have the assignment before 3 o'clock."
