[EDWARD] Carey house for the enormous price of 5000 $, including the land for that purpose, & have agreed with James Weeks to build a New one 50 feet by 70 feet for 5000 $ he is to have the house that is now on the premises into the bargain, which he has sold to Matthew Crosby, & is to remove it down on the south side of the Commercial Wharf, for 700 $.
