  • To the Legatees of George Washington, 10 March 1807

         Genl Washington in his life time sold to Arch. McLain what was called the round bottom tract on the Ohio, as containing 587 acres, with a general warranty, at the price of ten dollars an acre. He was bound to take in part payment a house in Alexa. at valuation. This house has been valued, (very high as we think,)  and possession delivered to us. McLain has been sued by Tomlinson for a considerable part of this land, and a Judgt was rendered against him as we understand upon the ground that the survey was made prior to the warrant.
