Last Thursday he gave the enclosed proposals (not included) to the Committee for the Sale of Eastern Lands. Received a verbal answer on Friday that it was an object of such magnitude they had concluded to consult and advise with their absent brethren as only three of the Committee were present. The committee told him they would not sell any land without giving Jackson previous notice. He previously asked for more time in the negotiations to cover the application for you, as I wish'd they should think it originated with me. States he has discovered someone else applied for half a million acres, but he does not know who. Encloses receipt for the [Dollar sign]5,000 (not included). Note in pencil below the docket says Recd of Mrs. Thatcher.

Received Knox's letter from 5 January. Has had several conferences with the committee over contracts. Received a paper from the committee for the sale of Eastern lands yesterday, which Jackson has copied and included in this letter. The committee views the three contracts as tied to one land company and they cannot justify giving two of the contracts when the stipulations of the third which was to have been complied with so long ago, remains to be fulfilled. Says the committee appears determined to keep their [Dollar sign]5,000, but I doubt not we shall [beat] them of that ground tomorrow. Believes William Bingham's manners and address will effect his expectations. Free stamped on address leaf with no signature.

References Jackson's letter of 24 July and says he will attend to issues with his creditors. Wants the bank shares sent immediately. Tells him I pray you to make the conditional agreement with the committee ... It is of the highest importance to me and therefore I pray you to push the business with all your might.

Discusses the sale of the Eastern lands. Relates the membership of the committee chosen to represent Massachusetts at the Society of the Cincinnati meeting in May (members include General [Rufus] Putnam and Doctor [William] Eustis).

Asks about specifics concerning the uniforms, such as whether or not swords should be hung at the waist or from the shoulder, what officer rank should have each style of epaulette, or this length or amount of bullion fringe. Includes a small sketch of an epaulette to illustrate his question. Appears to be docketed by Knox.

Agreeable to his promise of 31 July, he is enclosing a copy of the agreement with Mr. Gregoire (not included). Notes he will move forward with the surveys. States he drew upon Duer for [Dollar sign]200 payable at 20 days sight to pay the sums mentioned his letter of 31 July. Says this purchase is an important one to the Concern. References receiving the joint letter of Knox and Duer of 29 July. Following directions from that letter he has notified these gentlemen of the committee who reside in this town of our intention of locating one million between the Penobscot & Schoodie & one Million on the Kennebec. Notes the committee will meet at the end of this week or the beginning of the next and that he will then try to secure the other million he wants to buy. Reports I have no doubt with a little management I shall be able to effect it - they will not negotiate for the sale of the six miles on the Penobscot without the direction of the Legislature, but I will touch them on the subject. Assumes that Knox has taken measures to get the [Dollar sign]5,000 to Boston by 15 August.
