The original note was for the sum of $812 plus interest to be paid in three years for 200 acres of land in Hancock County, Maine. A note at the bottom of the last page states the bond was cancelled on 23 [September] 1802. Date was possibly written at a later date. Letter is possibly a duplicate of GLC02437.07709.
