Says the letter is being delivered by Mr. Bauncol, the agent to Monsieur D'Espremenil. Duer reports he offered D'Espremenil a part of township 7 before he sold his stake in the Eastern Lands to Knox and William Bingham. This was done because D'Espremenil ceded lands in the Scioto purchase and became a sutler there. Believes this was a fair deal and hopes Knox and Bingham will live up to the agreement.
