Convers states that although he originally asked to purchase a piece of land to the north, that land is so close to Ephram Reynolds's estate that it would be best if Reynolds had that land himself. He therefore describes a different tract of land to the east and asks if he could have that one instead. The docket acknowledges that Robert, Jr. consented to the proposition. Docketed on address leaf.
