Dutton, Samuel E., fl. 1803-1805
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Henry Knox
Reports that he just returned from attending the examination of Knox's settlers' land claims (see GLC02437.07822). Declares that it "has been an arduous and disagreeable undertaking." Touches briefly on the claims heard by General [Salem] Towne (he spells it "Town") and mentions that he will send a more thorough communication on the subject soon. Discusses payment for the witnesses Knox sent along, such as a Mr. Mudgit. Also declares that Judge Towne is showing himself to be honest and upright.
