We beg that you will do everything in your power to conciliate those who may appear unfriendly towards the present owners of the tract- and we authorize you to assure them that the greatest liberality and for dealing will ever mark our dealings with them, knowing as you do our standing it will be in your power to do much good, by soothing the feelings of those who have been abused by Sacket /c and inoculating confidence in them towards us.

to Mr James Stevens                                                              dated New York Janry 31, 1826

               It will be necessary for us to nominate some person in that state, to receive the title to the lands in question should we become the purchasers with the view of executing deeds with less delay and expense & also to avoid the legal impediments that would exist[?] should either of us be taken out of life & having minor children- We therefore wish you to consult with Mr. Burton as to the expediency of this measure and after he shall advise, let us learn through you the name of such person as you may both deem worthy of the confidence [proposed?] in him- it will moreover be essential that he should be a resident of Rutherford Co where the principal and by far the most valuable body of land lies.
