On the return of Mr. Holliman and Mr. Huff from your country
last fall they informed me that they had got your promise to reserve
a League of land for me, on condition that I would agree to settle
it etc—and Mr. Huff has also informed me a few days ago that he
had received a letter from you in which you wished to know if It
was my intention to take it, if not you would have to let some other
person have it; I will now ask the favour of you still to retain
the land for me, as I am determined to have it, and will start to
your country for that purpose by the first of June next in company
with Mr. Michael Holliman who is going also with the same views,
and expect there will be 2 or 3 other gentlemen go with us
