To Thomas Todd, 1 Aug. 1820
Recipient
Since the rect of your favor of the 29 June, I have again examined the papers respecting the Kentucky land with a view to the fact you allude to, and find that Lees bond for a conveyance to Genl W. bears date in [17]88 long before the deed to Banks. But upon an attentive consideration of the case of Brown vs. Jackson, I am by no means satisfied that it rules this case.
