Dear Sir.

In your favour of the 3rd of February last you expressed a desire of knowing whether I ever had received any land from the United States.  I have not and therefore I have made the deposition which you requested me to do and have forwarded it to you.  But the certificate from some of the Superior Officers I have not procured.  If you think those which you have are not sufficient and you will write to me and let me know, I shall endeavour to procure some others against the next meeting of Congress for I expect they will soon adjourn, and there will not be time for me to do it this session.
I remain your most [illegible]
