My dear Jennings
You will please sell no more of the wild
lands in the list allotted to me – as I have made a disposition
of the whole. This fact is not to be mentioned of course. I will
give you the particulars in another letter.
The Conventions have been held in various counties - and the
result thus far seems decidedly favorable. The N.Y. Convention met
on Wednesday [ eveg ]
Alternate Text: evening. Letters upon which we may rely as we think
assure us that the whole delegation will be favorable.
