My price for my two houses at the corner of Chesnut & Tenth Streets is Eight thousand pounds cash the lots are large extend back to George Street the stable &c is so contrived as to be easily converted into three dwelling houses - a front may also be turned on Tenth Street and continued from thence some distance northward for a number of buildings a court may be made opening to [strikethrough: st] street the north side of which will afford a front for the stables & back houses for the principal houses; and the south side may also be built on — these advantages could not be proposed if the two lots belonged not to the same person — I am your Mo^st obed^t & very humble Servant W.
