Says the letter is being delivered by Mr. Bauncol, the agent to Monsieur D'Espremenil. Duer reports he offered D'Espremenil a part of township 7 before he sold his stake in the Eastern Lands to Knox and William Bingham. This was done because D'Espremenil ceded lands in the Scioto purchase and became a sutler there. Believes this was a fair deal and hopes Knox and Bingham will live up to the agreement.

Reports that he had dinner with Mr. Morton and learned that house rents will be high this year. Called on William Duer yesterday who reported that Billy Morris was directed by Mr. C. to make the written report he did respecting the Eastern lands. Duer claimed that Morris had given a favorable report in the past, but he is not surprised as this trick had been practiced more than once by the same parties. Writes, People in general here appear to be sorry at your intention of retiring (which I have neither confirmed or denied) it is universally circulated - and it was last night mentioned that Mr. [Alexander] Hamilton had concluded to do the same. Continues the letter on 26 January and reports seeing Governor William Paterson in Brunswick, New Jersey. Says he observed that the Southern opposition to Government would end in nothing. Paterson said he would hold out the prospect of separation with them, which would scare them and bring them back to reason. Free stamped on address leaf with no signature.

Ludlow said his son-in-law will probably be induced to let it for 350 pounds. Says if Morton can be persuaded to part with it for 300 pounds, it will be a good price in the current market. Relates that he spoke to Mrs. Fleming again about her house, but she is still determined to let it for 400 a year for 3 years. Reports that Isaac Clason, a merchant, is about to buy up Macomb's debt at 5/6 to the pound. Does not see William Duer taking any measures to extricate himself. Notes that Duer's wife is going to be on Long Island after 1 May. Assumes this letter will take some time getting to Henry, as there is a bad snowstorm at the moment.
