Letter signed J. O’Fallon to John F. Darby, St. Louis. States that he entered satisfaction on Darby’s mortgage for the $3,000. The portion of O’Fallon’s interest in the Hebert tract, claimed by Mr. Morehead, does not exceed in value $350. He considers the Lebeaumes five times more than himself interested in this movement of Moreheads with whom he has been battling for the last three years, and now leaves it with them to arrest his course or not.
