Letter signed C.C. Ziegler, Iron Mountain, to John F. Darby, St. Louis, Mo. Darby’s favor enclosing two deeds has arrived. Ziegler sent it to Mr. Cobb to take acknowledgement but County Court is still in session and he cannot come up before the end of the week. The sale is some less than Ziegler expected, but having left the matter in Darby’s hands he is fully satisfied that Darby has done for the best, and therefore he approves of all Darby has done.
