| Content Description | Discusses the land deals concerning Madame de Leval and Mr. de la Roche. Defends his actions of supplying deeds to Leval and Roche by quoting directions he was given by both Knox and Duer. Quotes Duer wrote him, "General Knox who is with me has agree'd to give to Madame Leval & Mr. De La Roche deeds for that part of Trenton & No.8..." and another quote from Knox stating "I most earnestly desire you to arrange Madame Leval's situation in Trenton...quit them for it would be bad to be entangled with them in any law suits." Further discusses in detail specific instructions given to him regarding these contracts, actions he has taken thus far, and where the contracts stand at this point. Expresses relief that Duer and [Royal] Flint have relinquished their shares and are now "completely unconnected" in the purchases. |
