Mount Vernon 30 Oct. 1797
My dear Sir
Your several letters—Opinion—and Copy of the Deed to William Williams for 589 Acres of Land have been duly received—and for which I offer you my best thanks.
It is a little singular that the proceedings for docking the Intail of the above mentioned Land, should not be found among the Records of the General Court, or in the Secretary's Office, from whence it issued, and to which it most assuredly was returned.
