News of family, land settlements, deeds, money scarcity, and conflict with the French. "I cou'd get no land from Dayton he has been Tolerable clever in Settlement he gave me Six hundred acres for Price in Milatary Warrants you shall have Six hundred acres as soon as the land is Surveyed…" Comments on relevant "Law of Congress" relating to land and military bounties.
