| Title | William Duer to Henry Knox about land business |
| Date | 26 September 1793 |
| Author | Duer, William (1747-1799) |
| Recipient | Knox, Henry |
| Document Type | Correspondence; Land transaction document |
| Content Description | Says the letter is being delivered by Mr. Bauncol, the agent to Monsieur D'Espremenil. Duer reports he offered D'Espremenil a part of township 7 before he sold his stake in the Eastern Lands to Knox and William Bingham. This was done because D'Espremenil ceded lands in the Scioto purchase and became a sutler there. Believes this was a fair deal and hopes Knox and Bingham will live up to the agreement. |
