Biggs receiver of the land office in the town of Steubenville did lend unto Mr. Smith of cincinatta 11,0[00] dollars the summer 1806 but for what purpose of course to buy land, as the are both eminent land speculators, give me leave to inform you that it never bought one acre, but bought flour pork boats &c &c for Aron Burrs expedition—against United states, and last spring when Biggs went to Pittsburgh with the public money he borrowed from Pittsburgh bank a considerable sum & on his return called on Mr. Pritchard to examine the yearly returns, this is the fraud carried on by your vilest enemies, and when you expel one, expel Them all, as the are all equally concerned, and new very well of Burrs most damnable plots, against the peace & tranquility of this western country, The cloud has burst. and the truth must come out, There are a number of your own jenuine republican friends who will be very thankfull for your promotion, and men of the first repute and can give your excellency to any amount in security, therefore consider your friends, & dispise your enimies—what I have said to you, is facts, and can be proven in court,
