Says he wrote to Duer earlier about the provisional articles for the French colony on the land they have purchased in Maine. Believes that Madame de la Val and Mr. de la Roche were supposed to have seen the property yesterday, but believes they were kept by the recent bad weather. Had written to Henry Jackson earlier and asked him to assist them in any way. Says if they are expecting to establish their colony this winter they need to move without delay. Asked Jackson to procure another million acres, even if it costs 15 cents per acre. Does not think any time should be wasted getting the land. Asks Duer what he thinks. Notes Judge Tudor offered 12 cents per acre for another half million acres. Believes the offer is made for William Constable. Does not think the committee will sell it to him though. Mentions he has been sick lately, which is why he has not copied the agreement of transfer. Will be done in a day or two.
