User-Contributed Transcription Milo Nov 22nd --50
I have been to see Gruen three or four times to fix up that sale of land but have been as often put off; yesterday he said that he wanted a different agreement, did not want to give notes payable as far ahead. he wants a Bond for a deed running one year
The conditions to be his paying $100 at or before the expiration of the year giving notes for $100 and payable in one and two years. the bond to be forfeited, as also all payments made previous provided he does not comply with the terms
The reason he assigns is that if he should die, before a year that his Estate would be [[?]] by notes -- I think his reasons are without good foundation, it is a mere whim, but I see no injury resulting to you provided he gives as he says he will security to pay your $50. or more dollars independent of the amount named in the bond because whatever he pays will be forfeited and you will get that much for the use of the place - if he should neglect or refuse to comply with the conditions of the bond - Another thing, he wants to let you have as manny harnesses as you can dispose of, he has quite a quantity of that kind of stock on hand and Oliver owes him the [[?]] - now I think you had better take 50 or 75 worth of harnesses if you can sell
