Acknowledges letters and papers; last Christmas John Mills made a sale of 270 acres more of Symmes's land, and thereby satisfied the balance of his judgment; does not know, in regard to McCluer's judgment, how that debt stands; the sheriffs of Ross and Fairfield counties raised most of it out of Symmes's military lands; his nephew says that 12,000 acres of his Scioto lands were sold at the same suit; the judgment was $3,800, and $439 had been raised in Hamilton before they resorted to the military district; incloses letter for Mr. Denman; had already shown him, before leaving Washington, the release of Denman of the mortgage Symmes had given him on the 4,000 acres which included Dayton's 1,000.
