If the Superior wishes to purchase the land on the river for $1500 he can address an answer to Ste. Genevieve by tomorrow or enclose the notes drawn in Gibson's favor to care of Father Francis Xavier Dahmen. Gibson will pay Felix Vallé and deliver the deed, now in Father John Brands' name, to Dahmen. For all his disappointments the Superior might date the notes back to the time when they first purchased of him at the Seminary and Ste. Genevieve, about last March 10, or allow $100 more on the price of the land. He must close the business on the 25th and wants Timon to have the land. As to his visit, Gibson asks forgiveness; his mind was deranged and he has not been at ease for some time past., P.S. The Superior can draw the last note for $600 payable in three years. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 1p. folio
