There is an attempt to show a consideration for the deed from defendant to plaintiff, but we are constrained to believe there was in fact no consideration therefor.
The deed of reconveyance was based upon a sufficient consideration, and was valid between the parties, although there was an agreement not to record until the Peterson claim should be adjusted. Recordation is not essential to the validity of a deed as between the parties.
Plaintiff has failed to establish the nondelivery of her deed to defendant, and the decree must be, and it is, affirmed.
