entries made below the Tennessee, certified by
me principal surveyor of the military lands, are
IN my possession. 1t has been stated TO me that
great portion Of the above lands are of the first
quality 8. that neck o. land bounded by the Ten
nessee river, the Ohio, the Mississippi and the
Tennessee line, has been generally represented
by those who have explored it, 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 unquestionably be of
good value.
