Louisa March 5 1821
Dear Sir
Inclosed is my Account with Mrs Marks. since the last renderd you
I have made several attempts to rent Mrs. Marks land but without effect in consequence of the unimproved state of the land.
the Estate of Mr Marks being settled I suppose it proper that the papers I hold should be Sent to you—which I can do by some private Conveyance. I will still attend to the payment of the Taxes on the land if you wish it
Accept Sir my b[e]st wishes for your happiness
Lancelot Minor
