the 8th concession of the Township of Wolfe Island
South of the B Line. I been informed that Mr
George Horn has applied for the same lot but as
he departed this life with that unfortunate complaint
that's raging threw the Contry I thought that I would apply
for it my self as I am without any land there
no clearance made by any person on the lot

to certify his death will be produced if require
at any time please to send me a few lines
down on the subject so that I may know
wether I can depend on getting it or
not by so doing Youll much oblige
your obt Hmble Svt

Dear Sir:
Reviewing my application of last month
I write the following letter to give you to understand
that a young man by the name of John Bush
has been to widow Horn to get a Certificate from
her to make over George Horn right to him
this young Bush has land on the Island
and its the general opinion of people
that's mearly for a speculation that
he wants this lot No 7 in Eight
Concession of the Township of Wolfe Island
south of the B. Line. I would be glad
to get a lease of the same lot as I have
no land and send you the Rent
according as you will direct me
I am Sir with Respect
your obt Hmb Svt
