Agreeable to his promise of 31 July, he is enclosing a copy of the agreement with Mr. Gregoire (not included). Notes he will move forward with the surveys. States he drew upon Duer for $200 payable at 20 days sight to pay the sums mentioned his letter of 31 July. Says "this purchase is an important one to the Concern." References receiving the joint letter of Knox and Duer of 29 July. Following directions from that letter he has "notified these gentlemen of the committee who reside in this town of our intention of locating one million between the Penobscot & Schoodie & one Million on the Kennebec." Notes the committee will meet at the end of this week or the beginning of the next and that he will then try to secure the other million he wants to buy. Reports "I have no doubt with a little management I shall be able to effect it - they will not negotiate for the sale of the six miles on the Penobscot without the direction of the Legislature, but I will touch them on the subject." Assumes that Knox has taken measures to get the $5,000 to Boston by 15 August.
