New York Febry 28th 1762 Letter from OUver Delancy Esq' w^h proposals.

SIR W^. JOHNSON TO THE HON^le OLIVER DELANCEY.

Fort Johnson 12th March 1762. Dear Sir,

This day came to hand your favour of the 28^^. Ult". enclosing the Deeds which were among M^. Warrens Papers, and shall expect the Bonds, as soon as you have Lady Warrens directfons, which I am surprised has been so long postponed.

there have been numbers of Farmers lately with me, wanting to buy M^'s. Cosbys Land, and find they are verry willing to pay jeiOO p Hundred Acres, as the land is verry good, there are also Gentlemen, who would willingly purchase y«^. whole, as I before observed to you, who I imagine will give much more for it than you are pleased to offer, the Stop, which I understand, is now put to further purchaseing Indian Lands, must also greatly enhance the Value of what is already pattented, wherefore I beleive jEGOOO Curr<^y. will not be thought too much for M^s, Cosbys Share of that Pattent. when I learn the utmost, the others will give for it, I shall write you my final resolution thereon.
