                  New Bedford 9 mo 20 1851

  Mr. Arvine Wales, 

             Dear Sir

                    Yours of 12th came to

  hand this morning.  I have come to the

  conclusion that you had better sell

  the land at the offer you have say $500

  down and $500.00 in five years with

  interest.

        The deed I had from Marble is

  recorded in Stark county and Wilson

  tells me that he is very sure they are

  all recorded there  he thinks he left them

  all in the recorder's office & Marble was to

  get them and send them on, but never did

  So Humphrey Davis recieved the land from T Roach

  Cornelius Howland of H. Davis he sold it to

  Edward T Wiltson who sold it to Marble & Marble

  to Chas Wood.

          You will of course keep security

  on the property till the last payment is made.

  I suppose it will be as well to give him

  surity to give a deed when the Land is paid

  for or any way as you think proper.

      The deed from Marble to me is recorded

  in book O, page 14 - July 23d, 1835 by David

  Raffensperger Recorder Stark County Ohio.
