[Richmond Enquirer, June 29, 1838:]

Valuable Green Springs’ Land for Sale.

THE following lands, which were advertised last year, remaining usold are again offered for sale:—

One tract, containing 510 acres, (300 of which are of Green Springs’ soil,) lying immediately on the stage road from Louis[a] Court-house to Charlottesville. On this tract are a good dwellin[g] house, and the necessary outhouses.—It is well adapted to the culture of corn, wheat, oats and tobacco, and very susceptible of improvement with clover and plaster.

Two other tracts, adjoining the above, and containing, each 600 acres, which might be advantageously added to the above tract, of which they were originally a part, or would make good settlements of themselves. On each of the above tracts a small farm is opened.

One tract containing 430 acres of good farming land, with an excellent dwelling house, nearly new, and good necessary outhouses. There is on it also, an excellent saw mill, just completed and in successful operation.

One tract containing 489 acres of tolerably good quality, but particularly valuable for its fine timber.

The wood lands attached to each of the above tracts abound in excellent timber, convenient to the above saw mill and very near the location of the Louisa Railroad, through the latter of which it is expected to pass.

A more minute description of the above lands is deemed unnecessary, as it is presumed those who wish to purchase will first view them; and those wishing to do so, are referred to the subscriber, John R. Quarles, or Mr. Charles Quarles, residing on the premises, who will take pleasure in showing them. These lands are at present valuable because of their vicinity to the Green Springs, and their value must be enhanced by the completion of the Louisa Railroad. Having determined to move to the West, this year, we will sell bargains in the above lands; and should they not be previously disposed of, they will be offered at public sale, at Louisa Court-house, on Monday,the 9th of July, that being Court day.

Terms liberal, and made known on day of sale.

ANN QUARLES,

June 15 [,1838] {11—wtdsr} JOHN R. QUARLES.
