Provides Peirce with a list of arguments to use against the 10 proprietors who are bringing a suit against him. Mentions lack of state surveys and irregularities of former sales. Says "It is a matter of some consequence to ascertain whether the 10 proprietors gave a bond to the state to abide by the definition of the patent of 1785 - If they did the words of that bond must have been according to that definition which has not be complied with." Goes on to say Peirce needs to speak to Dane, Parsons, and Sullivan. Postscript says "It is taken for granted by me that the trial will not be at the inferior court - This must never be - indeed if the 10 proprietors persist I must be at the trial." Appears to be a press copy.
