Dear Sir
This will be handed to you by my Friend
a Town, but declined it after we made ours altho he
thinks that a Town might be layed off there to advantage,—a Town
there would certainly interfere some with ours—I have therefore
agreed to let him become interested in our Ouchitaw one
Eighth by his paying that porportion of the cost of the claim in twelve
months— and also in consideration of his agreeing to go immediately
down to that country (with authority from
he is fully competent to this business and it will be some object for
us to have our Towns in Market immediately—the contract I have
made is to let him be interested one Eighth in our Little Rock Townboth to relinquish a part as it will be for our joint benefit—if you
approve of the arrangement therefor you can take his note for the
Money and give a Bond in our joint names, for the title.
Make every exertion to get an order of survey and to get Surveyor
[Addressed:]
