GEORGETOWN, S.C. 1924. 22, Octobe®, Mr c/o e Me. i) e Br owning J. M. & Me Ogden, Utah. Dear Co., Sir: In Your the 9 S.

I will furnish you with a complete Abstract of the Title to this property for a fee of One Hundred ($100.00) Dollars, or, if you prefer, will send you an Abstract of the Conveyance to Mr. McCormick, together with a eertificate as to encumbrances against the property for a fee of Twenty-five ($25.00) Dollars. gee were I might explain that the records of this County destroyed during the Civil War and hence there are very few titles which can be traced back prior-.to the year 1868.

I do not think that the mere Abstracting of the last two or three links in this chain of title, as suggested by you, would be sufficient to determine the validity. However, I will be governed by your desires and will furnish either the partial abstract or the complete abstract as you may desire. Awaiting your further instructions Yours: very. in truig, the matter,
