tion the premises taxed as aforesaid, and Emily M. Fisher, of said Town of Charlestown, was
the highest bidder therefore.
NOW, KNOW YE, that in consideration of the sum of Fifteen Dollars and sixty-five
cents ($15.65), to be paid by said Emily M. Fisher, the receipt whereof I do hereby acknowledge,
I do hereby sell and convey unto the said Emily M. Fisher, her heirs and assigns, forever, all
