was not able
to close the bargain, being unwilling to do so in the absence
of Mr Higham

Person

Name: Robert  Higham Birth:  Death: 
who is authorised to make these bargains
and not knowing when the lease expired, Mr P said he
could not wait but must go to Chatauque

Place

Name: Chautauqua County City:   County:  Chautauqua State:  NY Country:  US
& raise the money
to bid in the premises: and intimated that you would not be
bound by the barg proposition to take $3,500, in case he was
then unable to close the bargain, I was then well convinced
from previous conversations with Mr Higham that the Co would
pay $3,500, but could not take upon myself to give such an
assurance, and Mr G being ignorant about the lease would
not consent to close the bargain; The company will pay
the $3,500, and I hope you will write Mr Patterson at Auburn
x

Place

Name:  City:  Auburn County:  Cayuga State:  NY Country:  US

to deliver the deed on recpt of that sum, Mr Higham
has been willing to advance the money to raise the mortgage
and all the mistakes & misunderstanding if there is
any arisen from my not receiving Mr Ps letter.
The company will be disappointed unless you now
take the $3,500, and under the circumstances I think
you will do so without hesitation. The Compy will have
an agent at Auburn on the 16 to pay the money
