June 3d 1827.
Sir, I have visited the lands on Chocolate Bayou at The
request of Mr J. B. Hall; and Think a league can be obtained, having
Timber suitable for lumber; and a water privilige That may be used
four months in The year. I feel willing To choose the land for him,
if The lines can be run To his liking otherwise it will be of little
account; for The timbered land is very narrow.
Lest I may not be able To see you soon, (for I have been waiting
Mr Hall's return) that I may know my own chance for obtaining
land, before you leave us for The interior; I wish To know whether,
in case you have not made me a selection, I may not have land That
is forfeited and lying without the Ten leagues reserved. For I
understand That The land granted to Joseph Calvert is To be
forfeited, if so, I would like To procure it, should it meet your
approbation.
