Philadelphia, July 18, '90
Rev. Dr. S. Morais.
Most Noble Sir,
Being aware that the cause of the Carmel Colony you have near at heart, and that you often negotiate with Mr. Miller on behalf of the settlers, I take the liberty to ask your kind intercession in my case between me and Mr. Miller. The case in brief is this: Last year, June the 13th, I bought of him, Mr. Miller, 103 34 acres of land (10-50 & 12 doll. per acre) on the following conditions: 75 doll. I paid down in cash, 125 doll. with interest I had to pay
the last 1st of September 1889; 172 I must pay September 1890, and the rest in 6 years, with 6% interest. After a third of the whole sum is paid in he is to give me a deed and take a mortgage on the rest. In the receipt signed by Mr. Miller and given me in witness of my first payment of 75 doll. (all the details of the agreement are written, but no provision was made to the effect that I lose my claims upon the land bought in case I be not punctu-al in my payments. To the contrary, I was assured that Mr. Miller never takes ad-vantage of unfavorable circum-stances, and never deprives
anybody of his land. Now that I was, and still am un-able to make the second payment of 125 doll., with interest amounting to about $60, or 80, in time, he sent me 10 days notice (from the 12 to the 22d inst.), stating that in case I do not pay the said sum in this short term, he shall make sale of my land to other parties. As it is an utter im-possibility for me now to comp-ly with this demand and in the same time I cannot afford to lose the land, I turn to your kindness Rev. Dr., asking your intercession on my behalf before Mr. Miller. What he can and ought to do--is this: to recallthe notice served me in regard his intendet sale of my land, and
to wait a few months longer, to the 1st of Feb. next 1891, when I hope to be able to meet the payments of both $125 and the $172, as I feel confident in the successful sale of the shares of the cooperation after the est-ablishment of the our first co-operative Industry--the Butter and Cheese factory. I think Mr. Miller must understand that with the bush land alone we cannot solicit a single shareholder (of the cooperation) while wit ha good industry in operation we will be able (to raise capital both by earnings and the sale of shares. Having no doubt that your letter to Mr. Miller will have the desired effect, I beg leave to remain with advanced thanks, very Respt. J. Parvin
P. S. Please kindly examine into my industrial and educ-ational work in Carmel, will be very grateful to you for your sympathy and moral support which would be of great value to me. J. P. - Identifier
