Received his recent letter. Declares that he is sorry that so much of the Waldo patent populace is still "under the influence of bad Counsellors. The land belongs to us and to our constituents - It cannot be taken from us while Society and Laws shall exist - If the people will be so blind to their true interest, and so unjust as to desire to wrest the property from the rightful owners they must take the consequences." Adds that he and the Winslows have "made reasonable offers - we cannot enforce them But we shall hold the right of the Land." Mentions that the Winslows will be visiting the Waldo patent this season and can solve a dispute about the size of the lots of land. Also adds that he is sorry for Ulmer's losses and would be happy to help. Finally, suggests he arrange a meeting with Captain [Thomas] Vose and the Winslows.
