My Dear Mary 
 
 
 
    Yours of the 16th 
inst. is read, enclosing copy of an  
argreement between McCoy and Thompson 
and yourself. I think the agreement is all 
right.  You can let them hold the note and 
mortgage for the protection of our home lot 
as long as there  is danger, and when that is 
past you can have their entire satisfact 
ion of the mortgage and give up the notes.  
 
 
 
   I am glad to hear that Mrs. Northern  
is well.  I think she is foolish for waiting 
on the Govt. to do anything about her 
claim for a loss of negroes and property in 
Va., I feel pretty sure she will never 
get a cent. – I think you are right 
about defering the purchase of carriage 
horses till Spring.  The care of them through 
the Winter would be very troublesome to you and 
the children besides the expense – and
