FRIEND WILLIAM LOWRY This is to advise you
that | am at home and all we'll, and that put ou
from Monterey on Friday the 18th ut, the day after
you left Monterey and ascertaned the names OF the
tenants that in possession of subsequent surveys
against whom no suits had been commenced on th'
26th of January, 1S46,after my arrivan Sauntonand
of course must carry out my instructions as per my
advice to you heretofore, viz: to commence suits
against all the tenants in possession ofsubsequent sur
veys who had not acquired title by adverse possession
and at that time, it was anticipated by the trustees
or Board of Managers that the required Information
would have been received through you; but, as thel
ancipations were not realized that is the reason tina
the suits have not yet been commenced; and as there
are some of the tenants who will acquire Title by al
verse possession the coming year. and soon after th
lst of May next must, Ill self-deence, commence tht
suits | reckon it would be well that the tenant!
should understand their situation and my duty In sell
defence 1t has been suggested that notly each I'D
divdual tenant,by enclosing to them notice per mail
that they may relinqu sh and Lease, it will prevent
| T nlor hot niuht no aS
to publish this letter in the newspapers edited at Staun
ton and all the tenants may through you relnqusf
their subsequent surveys on which they have no htl'
BY adverse possession and receive my Lease, us pei
my Leases and their accomplishments in part received
at your hand And l. likewise, ascertained, after my
arrival in Richmond, that Patents had issued on be
tween 80 and 40 subsequent surveys made since the
suits were commenced in lS46.
