Agreeable to his promise of 31 July, he is enclosing a copy of the agreement with Mr. Gregoire (not included). Notes he will move forward with the surveys. States he drew upon Duer for [Dollar sign]200 payable at 20 days sight to pay the sums mentioned his letter of 31 July. Says this purchase is an important one to the Concern. References receiving the joint letter of Knox and Duer of 29 July. Following directions from that letter he has notified these gentlemen of the committee who reside in this town of our intention of locating one million between the Penobscot & Schoodie & one Million on the Kennebec. Notes the committee will meet at the end of this week or the beginning of the next and that he will then try to secure the other million he wants to buy. Reports I have no doubt with a little management I shall be able to effect it - they will not negotiate for the sale of the six miles on the Penobscot without the direction of the Legislature, but I will touch them on the subject. Assumes that Knox has taken measures to get the [Dollar sign]5,000 to Boston by 15 August.

The committee told him they would not sell any land without giving Jackson previous notice. He previously asked for more time in the negotiations to cover the application for you, as I wish'd they should think it originated with me. States he has discovered someone else applied for half a million acres, but he does not know who. Encloses receipt for the [Dollar sign]5,000 (not included). Note in pencil below the docket says Recd of Mrs. Thatcher.
