Circular Fernandina, Fla.,------, 1867 Dear Sir: With the view of carrying out the spirit and intention of the following resolutions, as also the in- structions to us attached thereto, we have deemed it expedient and proper, in this form, to lay the proceedings of the Bondholders' meeting before those who were absent or unrepresented at the Land Sale, on the 12th inst., as the best means of informing them of the action of said meeting, and of the invitation extended to ab- sentees to co-operate with and enjoy the benefits resulting from a participation in an equitable division of the lands purchased by us on the 12th inst., by order and for account of the Bondholders present, who rep- resented over $600,000 of the Freeland Bonds and past-due Coupons of the Florida Railroad Company. We also invite your attention to our published notice of said meeting; and we have now to recom- mend that you lose no time in transmitting your Bonds and detached coupons either to our address or to some party at this point, with instructions touching your wishes in the premises. You will observe that, after this personal notice, you have but thirty days from date in which to signify your intention of co-operating, as indicated, with Bondholders represented at the sale; and we have to ask that you communicate to us your intentions with as little delay as possible.

And we instruct said Agents, after the lands have been purchased and conveyed, to sell for cash as much of said lands as may be necessary to defray the expenses attendant on the distribution and conveyance of the several parcels to the holders of Freeland Bonds and past due Coupons, and all other expenses incident thereto; and in the event of all the lands, including town lots at way-stations, now held by the Trustees of said Company for the redemption of said Bonds,) being purchased by said Agents, that the proceeds of first cash sales on account of expenses, or so much of them as may be necessary, after the payment of taxes, be ap- plied to the payment of the just and legal claims of said Trustees and their Agent for commissions and expen- ditures made for and on account of said trust. We further instruct said Agents to classify into three classes all of the lands by sections, so that the total values so fixed shall be equal to the amount of all participating Bonds and past due Coupons. The Agents shall give notice to the holders of Bonds and past due Coupons, as early as practicable, to meet on some fixed day at Fernandina, when the Agents shall proceed to award the choice of each section to whichever of the Bond or past due Coupon holders will pay the most price for the privilege. The premium thus accumulated to be afterwards divided among the Bond and past due Coupon holders in proportion to their several interests. If at any time previous to the termination of their trust, the Agents can sell for cash any of the town lots at a price not less than seventy-five per cent. (75 0-0) of their originally appraised value, or any of the lands at a price not less than fifty per cent. (50 0-0) of the value fixed by said Agents, then the said Agents are instructed to dispose of any said lots or parcels of land. And in consideration of the faithful and proper performance of our business entrusted to said Agents, we hereby agree that they shall receive each a compensation of Five Hundred Dollars, (8500) With these special instructions and agreement, we commit the entire management of the purchase and final sale or distribution of lands to said Agents, who are hereby authorized to exercise their own discretion in all matters of detail, and upon all points that may arise and are not provided for within the limit of these in- structions.
