From a conversation he had with William Duer, he is concerned that Smith might have misunderstood the object of his letter and enclosure of 22 October. Tells Smith he may remember a conversation they had "in your house, relative to a favorable accommodation for the preservation of my bank stock." Says that a certain quantity of his private lands in the Waldo Patent will be "sold to you conditionally upon the approbation of your agent." Mentions financial arrangements to pay for it. Says $1,600-$2,000 must be advanced.
