To Thomas J. Turner1Jump to section
Dear Sir, Dec 14, 1853.
Your letter and the depositions both reached here yesterday; and, by agreement, Logan and I have opened the depositions and read them. By my agreement with Logan, made when I filed the Bill last summer, he has the option to continue the cause over this ensuing term, and he now elects to do so. This dispenses with your coming now, even if you should attend the trial when it does come off, which I think you need not do at any sacrifice. The depositions, in the main, are very good; yet there are two or three points, which I will mention, that I would prefer to have differently. First, and least, it does not appear that Bovey2Jump to section advanced any of the money to pay Denny. Secondly, that Rollins sold to Adams,3Jump to section that Adams advanced the money, and that the deed was to be made to Adams, only appears by Bradshaws declarations and admissions---and quare, are his declarations & admissions competent evidence? I hope they are, and will examine.
