Letter signed Josiah Spalding, St. Louis, to Col. Justus Post, Bonhomme, Missouri. States that the Edwardsville paper is not a legal tender in Missouri, and therefore cannot be forced on the Edwardsville Bank in satisfaction of a judgment already obtained. Neither Bates nor Post were mistaken as to the Chancery Judgment, which is not yet at an end. There is judgment against Seward for the amount and costs of the action at law. Sickness in Ridick’s family has prevented the completion of the business. Spalding spoke to Hempstead regarding a conveyance of lands in satisfaction of his demand, and Hempstead said he wanted a history of the title and time to consult his client. Spalding also told Hempstead that Post had lost thirty thousand dollars and therefore his homestead had been sold at the current term of court. Spalding asks Post for the history of the title to the land proposed to be conveyed to Hempstead. Persons mentioned include O’Hara [William M. O’Hara], Collet, Schlatter, Wheeler, and Capt. Brown., 1821 Oct 2
