entries made beioY the Tennessee, certified by
the principal surveyor OF the military lands, are
in my possession. Ithas been stated to me that a
great portion of the above lands are of the first
quality; & that neck Of land bounded by the Ten
nessee river, the Ohio. the Mississippi and the
Tennessee line, hss been generally represented
by these WHO have explored i, to possess superior
local advantages to any tract of equal extent in
the western country. The Indian claim to the
Lands in question is BOW about to be extinguish-
ed, commissioners being appointed for that pur-
pose, when those lands will unquestiona5ly be Of
good value.
Also, S4t acres on the 6. w. side OF the
Cumberland, one to two miles below the town Of
Eddyyille--This tract fronts on the river 43S
poles, part Of the low ground, which is extensive,
Is heavily timbered and from the quantity of
earth eaten by wild animals at the river bank and
sundry places in the low ground, from my own
view and the opinion of others, il probably con-
tains as rich body Of salt, as any yet discovered
in tue state OF Kentucky.

the above. These tracts were patented in the
year 1857.
