Received Knox's letter from 5 January. Has had several conferences with the committee over contracts. Received a paper from the committee for the sale of Eastern lands yesterday, which Jackson has copied and included in this letter. The committee views the three contracts as tied to one land company and they cannot justify giving two of the contracts when the stipulations of the third "which was to have been complied with so long ago," remains to be fulfilled. Says the committee appears determined to keep their $5,000, "but I doubt not we shall [beat] them of that ground tomorrow." Believes William Bingham's manners and address will effect his expectations. "Free" stamped on address leaf with no signature.
