In reply to my last letter you mentioned the 20th of this mo [month] as the time you wld [would] attend to your note. I have waited five days. I will wait 2 days more. After wh [which] if you do nothing, I will [understand that you] no longer wait but put the matter in the hands of Mr T our lawyer. Foreclosing the mortgage only [gives] makes expense & trouble. [but] I have waited long I will no longer wait than the two days mentioned above. If then you do not appear on or before the 27, I will write no more, the lawyers must do the rest.
