Dickson, William T., Dixon, Illinois, to William Seton 4, New York, New York, 1860 March 7

He has perfected the deed of those 40 acres of land to Seton for the stallion and two mares. Mr. Bailey Carleton Bayley? did not like to let the colt go but he is to allow Dickson in harvest the $40 he was to give for it. The two mares are in a wretched state of poverty. The French mare was so bad Dickson thought she would not recover. He would like Seton to send him the full pedigree of the Emperor stud horse. Bailey says Seton took it with him when he left there. William Lawson wanted to buy the Santee mare, but would not give more than $100. Dickson asks how Seton prospers in New York and when he will come West to see them again. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
