Received his 2 April letter (GLC02437.04163) via Captain Thomas Vose. Is happy to hear that Vose is agreeable to him, and feels sure the people (likely citizens of the Waldo patent lands where Vose was hired as an agent) will embrace him. Discusses whether the people will make their payments on time, and the consequences of not doing so. Also discusses many of his concerns about managing the land and paying the appropriate taxes.
