Expresses his concern over William Duer's involvement with the land deals and states: "I shall be happy when this business is once out of his hands, as I think he will give you trouble & cause much embarrassment before you will be able to get rid of him - it was an unfortunate circumstance for you, that I sign'd away the Contract to you & him, or that Flints name is mentioned in the several agreements that has been the cause of all our trouble & dificulties in the whole of our negotiations, had they stood in my name alone - your Fortune and mine would have been made at a stroke." Asks that Knox remembers his [Jackson's] stake in this whole business. Encloses (not included) contracts to several of their land deals and continues to discuss them in detail.
