Boullier, C.M., Father John, Cape Girardeau, Missouri, toFather John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri, 1837 June 11
Scope and Contents
Boullier received Timon's letter of the 9th by Will. He has no horse and will go by boat on Wednesday next. Timon is to send his horse to Davis's landing next Thursday. Mr. Rodney was here last week and surveyed the old Cape tract they bought from Menard but he did not survey it to Boullier's satisfaction. Instead of a mile front on the river it wants 22 links? Of half a mile owing to some entries of Garner and Cross. They must try to have it surveyed again and extend their lines from Lorimier's tract up to Cavender's of Baltimore?. It cost him $29.37 1/2. Most of that tract is but rock and hills and except for 100 acres is not worth paying taxes on. Boullier gives the location of the tract on the township map. When Bob Gibney's account was presented he laughed at it; he wants to see Timon about it. Boullier has not yet seen Mr. Lightner. Boullier received 50,000 shingles for the church. He is painting the house but means to send the painter away as he does not suit. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
