Letter to John Milton Bernhisel, 1 December 1862
Hon. J. M. Bernhisel
Dear Sir
I have received your letter of Sept. 27 concerning
your business. I have delayed writing until the present, hoping
to be able to settle it. I have spoken to Bollwinkel & Brockbank
to day, they promised to settle soon; but Bollwinkel refuses
to pay any interest.
Concerning Abraham Taylor, he wishes me to
give up the note and take the property that is mortgaged,
but he does not wish to pay any thing more on the note, he told
me he had given you a deed in addition to the mortgage, which
I think is not correct, as there is no deed on record. What I wish
now to know is, whether I shall give up the note and take a
deed of the property that is mortgaged, or foreclose the mortgage,
sell the property and indorse the amount received on the note;
if so please send me a regular power of attorney & necessary papers.
Respectfully your &c
W Woodruff
