Kentucky Harrodsbgh. Feby. 13th 1780

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

Tobo = Tobacco? Maybe he grows it.
