Peyton Colo. Powell—Capn Turner2 Capn Moffitt County Surveyer—Mr Morze [Mauzey] Deputy C. Surveyer3 To fix the Corner and Establish the Line[.] Mr Scott Sayes it would then be Binding on Each, if you will advise me on this matter I will act accordingly.4 The Lott that Joins Scotts I wish To Put under Lease on a Better rent than at Present if I can. Therefore the Sooner Scotts disput is Ended I Suppose the Better. I wish To have the Land in a State To Lease before the 1st day of August otherwise no Improvements will be Made but the Tenament geting Worse—that Land is not Likely To raise in Value I Suppose a Lease for 21 years might be given To Encorage a Tenant To Come on it. £6 ⅌ 100 acres & the Tenant To Pay the Land Tax is in my a opinion a Sufficient rent if it Can be Procured, the People Moveing To Back Country Ocations Lands To rent and Sell Very Lo in Fauquier County[.] I Set out in a Day or Two To Fauquier County—what money I may receive I will Draw for in Alexandria at my return about the 6th of April.
