Dear Sir: you will
excuse me for not sending you a statement
of the tax bills but I did not write my
self to you or I should have given you
a List of the tax bills. I am very sorry
to have to trouble you with this matter
but I am bound to pay the amount to
the auditor and it would greave me
very much to have the property sold to
pay the taxes but you know that I
have no alternative. Taxes must be
Paid below I send a statement of
the amount which I hope you will
pay for your sister yours in haste
I am your humble servt
