Dear Sir
Inclosed you will received four Certificates for Land, which I have purchased on from Anthony Bleadsoe, Thomas Shores Elizabeth Steavens & Patrick Wall for fourteen hundred acres of land each wch I should be much obliged to you to forward to Williamsburgh in order to get out the preemption warrants which must be done before the 26th of April next otherwise the right of preemption will be forfitted as you will observe by the land law. if it should be out of my power to obtain the warrants it will be greatly to ^my prejudice as the lands is very Valuable the law also ^requires [deletion] that the sd Warrants must be entered with the County Surveyor on or before the 26th of June next therefore the Warrants must be sent here before that time otherwise they will be no better than state warrants as I have not heard from home but once since I left it I am at a loss to know what to say with regard to the money for purchasing the warrants tho expect if my Tobo and some other things wch I directed to be sold will bring out more money than will answer that purpose. If that should not be the Case I should take it a Great favour if you would be kind enough to lend one as much money or borrow it for me as will be sufficient to obtain the Warrants I will repay it as soon as I can get in which I expect will be some time in June next If it should not be Convenient for you to Comply with my request should be much obliged to you to send down the Certificates to my wife who I have wrote ^to on that Head
