 The portion of the obstruction re- malning will not be removed by me or by my agents or servants until such time as some arrangements, sat 1Slactory to me- are made concerning the acquiring of that land; and fur thermore if satisfactory arrange ments are not made at once, I will cause such Instructions to be built across that pathway so that it will be impossible to use it as a driveway until they are removed.
 T will add that the sooner you com mence your dealings with me accord ing to law the better l will be pleas ed"
