Dear J. C. Calhoun
I hereby transmit to you the copies of deeds by which Jacob Hunt conveyed all his real estate before the pension law was passed. The real estate mentioned in his former schedule was in reality nothing more than a mortgage of \frac{1}{2} the premises described in these deeds. This mortgage as stated in his declaration he has given up in payment of his debts — consequently a copy of that will not be expected & probably could be of no use
Yours & Jacob M c Glau
