S.J. Justice, Esq.,
       Henderson, N.C.
          Dear Sir: Yours of the 25th received. I understand that the lot referred to is worth about $100, and I think it would be all right for you to sell it to D.L. Thomas at that figure; I mean, of course, $100 net to him, the purchaser paying commissions to you. I should have answered your letter earlier, but have been away.
       Yours very truly,
       F.W. Thomas [signed]
