HON. S. F. LEIB,

SAN JOSE, CALIF.

My dear Sir:

I was at Fair Oaks when I received your letter
enclosing duplicate which you suggested sending to Selby, Rodgers & Co.
I immediately sent it to them and intended to answer your letter
but was unable to do so.

Your letter of yesterday is just received. I would not
feel satisfied to act on the suggestion of the Easton people and
close up the transaction, reserving part of the purchase money
until title is cleared &c. I prefer to be given a clear title
or have deposit refunded. This part of the tract which has questionable
title, is to me the most important part of all, as it is
immediately adjoining my property, and that was my only reason for
desiring any of it.

Yours truly,

S. L. Winchester
