Surveyor not Taking tlie course of the River or Indeed not Giving Himself The Trouble to Survey any of the Lines I made no Doubt She would be willing to do Justice I am still Determined to make the Purchase of the other side but find she cant make a Title for the same as it is now circumstanced During Her Sons life nor Afterwards unless Lady Augustus and y^ Duke of Grafton first Convey to Her their Right of Reversion to W"' Cosbys Lands as one of them is Heir to His Estate after His Death and She has no title in Them I should imagine She could easily Prevail on Them to convey their Right of Reversion to Her and than I would Purchase on that Title I thought I had wrote to you before of This but cant find I did.

I have Directed M'". John R Bleecker to Survey S'' Peters Patents at Chuctenunda and Lay them out in Lotts of 100 Acres each, he seems to apprehend some Interuption from the Indians in such case I beg you^ Prevent their giving any Trouble.

As Several Persons live on that Tract by leases from you I shall want the Copys of Those Leases to give Directions in Laying out tlieir Lotts and be pleased to send me an Ac*, of what money you have Rec'd from Any of them that in Stating Their Ae^s. j may give them Credit for such sums I shall esteem it as a favour you^ send me any Intelligence about this Land as I propose settling the whole and at what Rent I should put them at for 21 years after allowing 3 years free of Rent,
