Says he wrote to William Constable. Found out from a letter from Constable written to another person, that He suspected that Jackson, and I, had a purchase in contemplation - how he discovered this, I do not know? In his letter, Constable stated that he thought it was too far into the legislative session to complete the deal. Says If he meant this his opperations will be postponed untill next winter - you can best determine what steps ought to be taken in the mean time with the Committee. Asks Knox to forward an enclosed letter (not included) to a French gentleman at Fort Pitt.
Knox reports that Samuel Ogden decided to take the obligation for [dollar sign] 3,000 in preference to the 50,000 acres of land. Asks Duer to draw up a joint note for both of them to sign. Adds that if Duer thinks it proper, Mr. Constable should also sign the note. Relates that by the last post, he received the deed from Henry Jackson, and he will have it copied and sent to Colonel Walker on Monday. Wants to know if he has any plans or prospects relative to a sale.
Ogden says some person, a Country man of yours, stopped by to give their compliments to him, but he was absent. Adds that old Thomas took the message but forgot the name of the visitor. The acquaintance is on his way to Philadelphia. Ogden asks Knox to let me know his name, & tell him I wish to see him. Says their little girl is mending fast.
Informs Knox he sold a tract of land and will be delivering the deed Saturday. Requests Knox forwards him his quit claim immediately.
