Rh Grandfather and Aunt Anna. I have heard that Mr. Fulton has sold their plantation. You may inform them that there is a plantation in Blount County for sale, five hundred and thirty-two acres of land nicely improved, one hundred of bottom land, all of good quality, the price six thousand dollars. A number more plantations in this County for sale. Please remember me to all enquiring friends. Miss Betsy Fulton in particular, please write the first opportunity the particulars of the place. I have sent two letters to Augusta, one to Uncle Daniel Henderson, another to Cousin John Alexander. I have not received any answer yet—another letter to William Thome. My reason for not writing to you sooner I was waiting to hear of Uncle William settling himself he has not purchased land yet. Aunt Anna wrote a letter to Miss Betsy Fulton, and has received no answer yet, we wrote the letters in January that we sent by the mail. Please to give respects to your father-in-laws family that is Mr. George Pilson. Grandfather and Aunt Anna wishes you to remember them to George Pilson and family. We have had a remarkable warm winter and it appears like being a very sickly season in this country. I wrote this letter in a hurry.

I add no more at present but remain your affectionate friend and well wisher.

ALEXANDER HENDERSON.
