We agreed that he would bid of the land and we would buy it in Co -- He purchased in Co. with Leittell &Caldwell - Caldwell afterwards wishing to sell out we purchased his share for $600 + his third was turned over to me, so that Alford and I each have a certificate for one third -- costing us about $471 each -- We consider our shares worth at least $3000 each -- An adjoining Plantation that was bid off for about $2000, has been since sold for $10,000 --
