Declares that they will be able to purchase certain townships in the Waldo patent lands, and describes how he is negotiating the price. Touches on Indian claims to the land. Discusses his plans to have an agent purchase the land on their behalf, and explains how their application will be handled by the Committee and the Court.
Discusses the land deals concerning Madame de Leval and Mr. de la Roche. Defends his actions of supplying deeds to Leval and Roche by quoting directions he was given by both Knox and Duer. Quotes Duer wrote him, General Knox who is with me has agree'd to give to Madame Leval & Mr. De La Roche deeds for that part of Trenton & No.8... and another quote from Knox stating I most earnestly desire you to arrange Madame Leval's situation in Trenton...quit them for it would be bad to be entangled with them in any law suits.

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 [Dollar sign]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.
Sends Knox a surveyor to do a survey of a particular tract of land and asks Knox to extend his hospitality to him.
Discusses land deals and legal agreements. Says he does not believe Mr. [Thomas?] Winthrop can be absolved from the agreement.

Further discusses in great detail Mr. Winthrop's legal obligations concerning the land. Also discusses the current surveys being conducted and stresses that they must continue regardless of troubles that may arise.
Encloses a letter (not included) from Mr. [Leonard] Jarvis informing Jackson that Knox's request has not been determined by the Committee yet.
