I am astounded to learn that the Hartford property, all bought with Livy’s money, still stands in my name. I supposed I had deeded it to her long ago, but she & Mr. Crane say it ain’t so. Therefore please send me 〚 (to St. James Hotel, New York) the necessary documents to sign in order to deed the whole thing to her,Ⓐemendation complete: —to wit:—not forgetting the low ground b across the stream bought some time ago of Mr. Hall or through him, I forget which.

I shall go to New York Tuesday & remain at St. James some days. I send you check to pay taxes with—but don’t pay it to a collector who will steal it.
