Notes on Agreement with John Harvie
[ca. 17 Feb. 1810]
Mr Harvey’s sale of Belmont to Taylor is at 12½ D £3–15 pr acre. his deeds & patents call for about 2300. as but a survey he had made makes but about 2000. as. he is to recieve 2000 £ in July & 1000 £ a year after till the whole is paid
the whole will be from 7500.£ to 8625 £ to obtain this price he gave up stock & rent of about £500. value as he supposes. Rogers is to fix this value, & it is to be deducted from the sum total; and of the remainder I am to recieve one half of the average price on 245. as on the same instalments & proportions as he does.
