Days

I have only to remark that this
Extinguishment of the claim is important
to both states; and will be in no wise
inconsistent with the attainment of the
matter relative to the assent of Congress
the Act of this State lately sent you

Perhaps it would be best for you to
communicate the subject of this letter to
[Alless...?] Anderson Cocks, Rhea and Campbell,
so that they may be possessed of every circum=
=stance, relative to the present important
state of things

I beg that you will write to me
by every mail - Two lines and your
name at foot

Y^r respet friend
