Auburn December 23d 1843.
My dear Father
I have paid over to Mr Clark
money on his bond and mortgage, and sent the mortgage
Chemung County to be recorded with directions to send it to you
when it shall have been recorded. When that is done please send
to me or cancel my receipt which I gave you for the money
total $3200.
The title is now relieved of all encumbrances except
three old judgments on which satisfa satisfactory evidence of pay-
ment has been received but the satisfaction pieces have not yet
come, and on that account I retain money enough to secure their
coming in any event. I expect them daily. The se papers rela-
tive to and explanatory of the transaction are full and explicit
and somwhat numerous. I will send them to you for preservation
the first convenient opportunity when I can do so without expense of
postage
Very Respectfully and affectionly
William H Seward
The Honorable Samuel S. Seward
