Forest Grove Oregon

Nov 30 1872

Dear Sir,

Your fair is [?] [?]. Your land including the land sold Anderson was all sold for the deluiquent [Jp?] judgment taxes and co judgment taxes of 1840. There was no infraction except what the Rail Road Co got out on their lands. And of course that would not affect any other land except their own. Their suit is still in status quo and can’t tell how [?] will terminate. Most of those who did not pay their judgment taxes have let them go to sale, and then got an assignment of the certificates of pur chose so that if the said tax was illegal they would be in a shape to where some refunded. This we think would be the best way for you [?]. We can get an assignment of all the certificates to you for cost of [?], and then you could hold them until the walles was settled. We have written you Bro but he has given us no instructions thus far. Please let us know soon as the party who purchased the land (Mr. Tuttle) may dispose of items to other parties and will be hard for you to get an assignment of [?].
