are still Due me agreeable to the Statement N° 4 and which is
agreeable to said Contract the money Charged said Blanchard and
Lauman in the General acct herewith sent you was paid on lands taken
up for them as will fully appear by a reference to the Land Office
for the survy made for them in Grayson County by me you will
finde that the Memorandum No 3 is the Expences stated to arise
on a Survey of 100 000 acres which Lands have not been returned
2/3 of which onely—Blanchard and Lauman have a right to clame
these I withhold for the following Reason first because they are in
my Debt $1634.50 for expence on the 120 thousand acres sold them
Second because John D Blanchard has not accounted to me for a
quantity of goods Put in to his hands for sale Its well to
notice that all the money Charged in the General Acct. is for the
use of the John D Blanchard Geo Lauman and Jos Burr all of
which has been accounted for and paid as there stated by the return
of a Survey of Land made in Grayson of 150 thousand Acres, nor
can Blanchard or Lauman Clame any thing from me except the
money in statement N° 3—against which I have a demand on them
of 1634.50/100 as before mentioned the amount of the sum I have
on a survy of 43 thousand acres of Land in my hand which I hold
and Intend to hold untill I am paid for the goods to prove this
Clame against Blanchard I have requested Mr Stephen Austin to
send forward Blanchards recpt. for said goods and also to state to
you how much he has paid on that acct.
