Book Description
Says the duties of his office and a recent illness have kept him from writing. Says it is his firm determination to be with him in June or July. Says as the house cannot be built for occupation this season, I would prefer that the digging of the cellars should be defered [sic] until my arrival, as he would like to pick the spot himself. Wants the stone and brick delivered to the place you should judge near the spot. Will speedily send a plan to Henry Jackson and will tell him to collect workmen. Says there will not be any difficulty as he recently purchased the patent from the Winslows. Says the bearer of this letter, Captain John Hills, will be surveying the townships in the patent and make a map of the whole. Says Hills is a capital draughtsman. Wants to bring his wife and children, but does not think he can get appropriate accommodations for them.
