VITHEREAS I am informit! that twp bonds W given by nic to btockiey Donelfon in July in the year 1795, for about lix thousand one hundred and ten pounds V;r s :nia curren cy each, have been transferred by the laid Do nelfon and others, and that it is intended to of fer the said bonds for sale at audlinn j I think it ray duty to inf. rm the public, what the circumflances are under which the said bonds were given, and leave those who.are in poffsflion of them, or to \vho>n they may be offered, to judge of the probability of their being paid. In June 1795, Samuel Love, Jofiah Watson and myfejf entered into contrail that I should go to the S. Western Territory (now the state of Tennessee) for the purpose of making a purchase of lands ia that country ; the terms on which the purchase was to be made, were defined in our agreement, and fifteen days by stipulation were giveß said Samuel Love and Jofiah Watson, after I should inform them of any purchases I Ihould make to determine whe ther they would be partners in it. I made a purchase of lands of the said Stock ley .Donelfon but not on the terms, to which I was limited by the said agreement with Samuel Love, Jofiah Watson and myfelf—and although the purchase exceeded in price, and was not on the credit agreed on, I thought the bargain a good one, and supposed Samuel Love and Jofiah Watson would join me in it. I there fore signed bonds for the payments, in the fame manner as I should have done, if I had been cer tain Mr. Love and Mr. Watson would have ra tified and confirmed them ; because I did not chufeas I meant to give them an option of tak ing part of the said lands, to become solely re sponsible for the payments, if they should de termine to accept my offer of part. On my return those gentlemen refufed to be concerned at all in my purchase, and at I had received the deeds jointly in our names, they when re quested immsdiately conveyed to me, so that I flood wholly possessed of the lands, and solely responsible for payments. At the time I made the pnrchafe of Mr. Do nelfon, I informed him with whom and in what manner I was concerned, and that Mr. J>ove and Mr. Watson becoming responsible for the payments, depended entirely on themselves. The purchase I made Was to the amount of upwards of 70,000 dollars, one thousand dol lars were paid in cash, fix thousand dollars in sixty day bills, and upwards of twenty thou sand dollars in goodsljhe fall following the pur chase. The two .bonds above alluded to were given, ene payable in October ninety-fix, the other in OiSober ninct.y-feven. Thole two last bonds were given on the conditions expressed in an agreement delivered at the fame time, and dated the fame day with the said bonds, the substance of which is, that the said bonds were not to be paid, or any part thereof until it ap peared to the fatisfailion ef the obligors, that all incumbrances of Jevery nature and kind whatfoevtr were removed from the lands and every part thereof, which 1 had purchased of Mr. Donelfon More than one half of the lands, and ihofeef the best quality, the Indian claim is not yet extingiiiihed to, and poffefiion cannot of course be taken of them. This incumbrance, perhaps, it was expeiled when the contrail was made would be removed, before the said bonds or either of them became due. There are other obstacles of less magnitude, which must be removed before either of the said bonds will be paid. At the time the said bonds were given it was agreed by Mr. Donelfon that he would not dis pose of them, until it was clearly known that there were no incumbrances on the lands. It is not necessary, I should fay, how, he has been induced to violate this part of our agreement. I have complied with' the agreements on my part to be done, agreeable to the letter and meaning of my contrail, and shall continue to comply with my contrail on the plainly-ex pressed and unequivocal terms on which it was made. Any person interested in the payment of the said bonds may have cn application a copy of the coanter agreement herein alluded to. I have only to add, that I was very much surprized in a short time after the said bonds were given to be applied to, to know if they would be paid ; at that time and whenever af ter I have been spoken to on the fubjeil, I have informed those applying of the nature of the circuniftances on which the payment depended, and I have never failed to declare in the moll free and unreftrifled manner the true nature of my enagements with Mr. Donelfon.
