Telling Knox that Isaac Winslow and other family members who are attempting to sell Knox a large share of the Waldo patent cannot give Knox a clear title to the land at present. This is because of two issues. The first concerns difficulties related to Winslow's inheritance of the property from Francis Waldo's estate. The second is the fact that one of the relatives now appears unwilling to sell their portion of the estate. However, believes there are ways to rectify these difficulties. The final pages of the letter are missing.
Refers to a recent letter to Knox from Henry Jackson in which Jackson summarized the General Court's review of a claim related to Knox's Maine lands (GLC02437.04535). States that it is to their disadvantage that the court continues to delay making a decision. Urges Knox to personally attend the next session. Writes that some papers related to the deficiency of land are smuggled in the Senate; said to be mislaid, but may come to light in the next court. Notes that [Nathan] Dane plans to travel to New York to transact in behalf of this Commonwealth, and may miss the next court session. Writes that Captain Vose, who is managing affairs on Knox's Maine lands, cannot collect payments until the court makes a decision. Mentions men the Governor nominated to the counsel (presumably the committee overseeing the claim related to Knox's lands).
Assuring Knox that Winslow will be able to provide him with a secure title to the large portion of the Waldo patent Knox wishes to buy from him. While Nathan Dale is worried that Winslow lacks the proper deeds for this land, Winslow tells Knox that everything is in order and the sale can go through.
Promises to give his attention to a letter he has just received from Knox, regarding certain conveyances &c on the Waldo patent.
Provides his opinion on the legal haggling over the boundaries of the Waldo patent lands. Discusses the legal authority of the courts to be involved in the disputes.
A rough draft of a document listing various claims on the Waldo patent, relating to Knox's attempts to buy these lands. Has gone over all available documents and notes any possible problems with the deeds, competing claims or lack of proper documentation on the lands Knox wishes to purchase.
Apologizes for not having written sooner and discusses estimates relating to land deals. Notes he finds it unlikely that the state will cover any differences in quantity, as had been suggested, due to the member's prior voting record on the subject. Informs Isaac he has increased the advancement of his brother's, [Samuel Winslow], cash because of his current situation. Requests that he meets with his cousin, Isaac, and make a determination of whether they will accept Knox's offer on some land (includes part of the Waldo patent). They will need to provide Knox with evidence that there are no existing claims against the land.
Dane discusses a proposition Knox offered him the day before. Dane details the provisions of the propositions of Mr. Thorndike. Dane lists the finances and land purchase opportunities related to this matter, mentioning Henry Jackson and Benjamin Lincoln. Dane wants to make sure there would be security in this transaction. Knox is offering some of his land as security.
Reports that Knox's agent, Nathan Dane, called on him yesterday to inspect the power of attorney Mr. and Mrs. [John] Wall gave to Mr. Winslow. Dane believes that Winslow can not use the power of attorney to sign over Wall's interest in the patent. Deblois reports he is the only one who can now complete the deal, and he is being prevented from doing so by a special order. Wrote to Mr. Wall on 18 May to see if the deal could be completed, which he believes Wall will approve. Will write when he has further information.
