Lake Concordia January 10, 1822

Mr. David Hunt

Dear Sir

I received your letter dated December 14th 1821. I am very sorry that you could not pay me a visit for I think if you was to see the place that you would think five hundred dollars a very [high?] rent taking every thing into concideration since I have been on the place I have added to the field sixty acres of land which was grown up with thorns, briers and other stuff but it was my intention to stay this year if we could agree on the price. I will give you for this year five hundred dollars if the water don't come over and if it over flows I will pay no rent although I think five hundred dollars very high rent but on those terms I will take the place for this year. As respects last year's rent I will pay as soon as possible. I am now attempting to get my cotton to the gin but the weather is such that I make a bad hand of it. But I hope I will be able to pay you in a few days. I am very sorry that you have had to wait this long for your money. I will leave your money at the house of Mr. Fisk in company as soon as possible. Let me know from you as soon as you can.

Yours respectfully,
Ed [Edmond] Senak[?]
