From John Augustine Washington and Samuel Washington, 27 Aug. 1811
Recipient
Your printed circular letter of the 2d of the present month, was not receiv'd until within a few days past, or it should have been sooner attended to. The reasons offerd in that letter are sufficiently cogent to induce us without hesitation to give our assent that you should be vested with full powers to dismiss the suit against the representatives of Col. Lee, provided the land in question can be sold at $25 per acre, one half to be paid in hand the balance in three equal annual payments, the purchaseer giveing bond with approved security.
