ALS signed “A. Burr,” one page, 7.75 x 9.5, January 25, 1820. Letter to Martha Bradstreet. In part: “I have again called at Mr. Jones office but had not the good fortune to meet him—I saw his Partner who shew me his register, which is a sort of Lawyer's Day-Book & Journal, from which I learned that the suit agt. Hulse was regularly presented to Judgment in the usual way—that execution was issued in Decr, returnable on the 3 Day of Jan. inst. But that no return has yet been made—I do not see that you can reap much benefit from a sheriff's sale—those holding older Judgments will sell again & then your Title will appear to be imperfect—I think you will be obliged to foreclose your mortgage & then your Title will be perfect and you may then sell to a better man if you can find one and may get the deficiency out of Hulse if you can—please to say what you will have done—There can be no harm, but may possibly be some good, in giving notice to Gerard Walton—yet if there are other claimants, as no doubt there are, they are equally entitled to notice—The form on the next leaf is the best I can devise, not having been able to avail myself of the advice of Mr. Emmet.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds and a few small stains to the left edge.
