Recipient

Sir

     Your letter to Mr Custice was put into my hands a few days ago. The Tracts on the Mohawk lie in Montgomery County in a patent granted to Danl Cox in the township of Coxborough & Corolan, contain about 2000 acres one half of which belongs to the estate of Genl Washington & the other half to Govr Clinton‑ By a letter from Govr Clinton to the General I find them to be described as follows

Lot No. 8      in the    1st Division        105 acres     

From Lawrence Lewis, 16 Dec. 1817

Dr Sir,

     The lease from Geo: Washington to Hamiltree (which I [t]hink is the name of the tenant— Mr Lee has his name) is in the hands of Mr Wiley to whome he has paid one or two rents; I do not recollect the date of the lease, but believe it must have been given in 1803 or 1804— I have never seen the lease, or contract, but am under the impression Mr Wiley told me he was only a tenant at will I am sorry I cannot give you any positive information on this subject— Affecly yours
