Brands has been to see Mr. Rodney who said he had answered both Timon's letters and that Timon will have to refer to the surveyor-general's office at St. Louis for a copy of the survey. Rodney has also given Brands the plat of the survey of the 40 acres at Ducator, Missouri? which tract contains but 33 acres and a fraction as Timon will see in the plat when Brands comes up. He wishes to have his horse down if convenient to send it for he has just come up from Scott County more fatigued than if he had traveled 100 miles, so sorry saddle horses have they here. Brands has been very much troubled since Timon spoke to him last Sunday. He fears he is on a very black list with Timon and their brethren at Louisiana. He wishes to justify himself and if not he will be willing to drop it. On the address side of the envelope: Favored by V. Favia?. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
