I wrote you by last mail & inadvertently omitted to enclose the 5,00 I had intended, & as I wrote you–1 I enclose the sum now, please write to me in answer to the interrogations contained in that. I wrote you that during the life of one Charles Tiernan himself & wife mortgaged to Baker & co.2 several town lots & two tracts of land, to secure the payment of 1300.00^# After Tiernans death no part of the debt being paid– the mortgage was foreclosed– & I bought two of the town lots,– I understand the widow contemplates redeeming one of the lots– Can she redeem one lot without redeeming all! What Interest will she acquire by the redemption of the property– The estate is utterly insolvent– If she redeems will that create an equitable lien on the fee simple, that may be discharged by the Creditors on application in chancery– & the land then sold by the adm^r[administrator] subject to this lien, for the benefit of the creditors– please address me in full on this subject3
