                                  I have sold out my stock to Mr. C. H. Baker. I find I shall not be able to pay the whole amount that I owe but I will do the best I can and pay as much as I have paper to pay with. I think I shall not be able to pay over seventy cents on a dollar – I can let you know in about a week – will do what I can. I have done near nothing since I have been here and I thought it best to wind up – and try as much as I could.
