To:
F. B. Fogg Esq'r.
I had a letter from
Col Barney a few days ago
in which he surprised me by
informing me of a {illegible: fresh?} difficulty
in the way of one {illegible} a
claim {illegible: little?} to our Sewanee lands
He informed me it was his
purpose to proceed to Nashville to
see you on the subject & I suppose
has done so. This last matter,
I {illegible: made?} the discovery of Thomp-
son grant for 1750 acres laid
down in the very heart of our
tract & around {illegible: River?} Spring,
I confess gives me more {illegible: solicitude?}
than any thing I have heard.
Especially as he who informs
me of the existence of a Nashville
{Along the left-hand side:}
{illegible} {illegible} in this matter & {illegible} {illegible} {illegible} {illegible} {illegible: words not scanned}
the course to be pursued. I hope to hear from you at an early
day as to all the others
{illegible} {illegible} &
others.
all have just
finished dis-
tributing the
2000 copies
of the {illegible}-
{illegible} & {illegible}
Yours truly
