As I understand by your Letter to M^s Cosby (a Copy of which you enclosed me) that there is a Mortgage on the land, I should be glad to know for what Sura, & in whose hands it is --
I am a good deal surprised, and uneasy at not receiving the bon'.ls from Lady Warren or you which were so long discharged I must urge the giving them up as soon as may be and hope you'll enclose the Deed which you can send by the post or otherwise --
1 can't recollect that I have any papers relative to Sir Peters Lands, but as all my papers are at Fort Johnson, I shall make a search when I return, and transmit you any which I may find relative thereto --
I have asked the Man who lives on that tract of the late M"" Miler, what he was to pay for the 100 acres, he tells me. You promised it to him on the same lay, as the Tenants living on Warrensborough have their lands, if so, I am content, but lor seven years, I believe you will expect little or no rent. Considering it is a thick wood without a foot of clear land, however, you will let me know what I must pay for it and I shall acquiesce. I am with great esteem &c -- The Honble
Oliver Delancey Esq'
SIR WILLIAM JOHNSOK. 797
