LETTERS
David Barber to Capt Levi Barber 14 Apr 1883
"Before I could make arrangement with the Warsaw Bank as to their mortgage of $2000 Mc Mahan backed out of his offer to buy the Exn of your North quarter. The Warsaw Bank will release the Exn of the N quarter and the Deed of Mortgage on the N quarter is discharged. E Sanford of Morris, Grundy Carthage IL has commenced suit for the $1500 & interest on the Mortgage Deed in the Supreme Court at Springfield IL. I am expecting some money in a day or two & will see what can be done. I am afraid there is nothing here to pay taxes on your 2 quarters, and I hear Henry has little or no corn. I hear the man or men who have a mortgage on the lower quarter are clamorous for their interest...
...Times are very hard here now, produce low & no land selling: great emigration to the West. I hope you will keep up your spirits & write to me as to your health..."
David Barber to Capt Levi Barber 27 Feb 1885 Carthage IL
"You spoke of selling the South qtr of your land in this Township. What do you ask for it and who do you think would like to buy it? I hear of so many debts against you . I hear suits will be commenced and the property sacrificed. Have just been spoken to by Miller of Mineral & Miller of a note of Henry's to Quinby Clothier on which you were surety. Let me know by return mail of the whole amt of your debts, and I will see what the land can be sold for...I am very sorry for you and I hope you will not consider me as intruding. Times for so many are distressed. Do not despair but hope for the best..."
David Barber to Capt Levi Barber 6 Mar 1885 Carthage IL
"...I have cleared the 40 acres in Hancock to have it fenced with wire so there will be no taxes for us to pay for 4 years...If there should be any judgements against you, or if the lands should be attached I would lose all I have paid you. Consider this as confidential and say nothing about it . I am in hopes to sell the Pike Co land so as to pay you considerable. You all or some of you will probably get something of my estate, as I am over 80 years old & not in very good health. I have sold my corn & oats. I have also put in the deed the 10 acres you own, also under lease with my lands...I have written to Henry to call on me. I am troubled with Diabetes, suffer no pain but have to urinate very often day and night. Execute the deed on arrival and send to brother Austin asking to hand record on arrival..."
