I have made an arrangement with Capt Dillard to let him have
the half of the League of Land sold by DeMoss to J. E. B. Austin
for which he is to pay the usual fees paid in the old colony—he is
to notify me wheither he takes said land or not within four months,
and if he does not give such notice within that time, I shall
no longer be bound—Also he is to have a Labor at an island of
timber in the Bay Prairie nearly opposite to Kawls, provided he
gives notice to me that he will take it within two months
