When I had the honor of an interview with you last Monday Week you suggested I should purchase the land at once. If I cannot obtain a free grant I am willing to pay for the land on the condition that when the Capital is raised that I should do so.
Soliciting your kind consideration and apologizing for my thus troubling you.
I have the honor to be
Sir Frederick
Your obt Servt
