Believes that their land is superior to any other purchase that has been or can be made in the United States, or perhaps in any other part of the world. States that it would better if they could add another million or two [acres], even if they have to pay 15 cents for it. They could then connect their various purchases and defy all interference from other purchasers. Has been collecting materials describing the province of Maine and he will send them shortly.

Will not rely on the french [visit] (possibly a reference to the settlement of Madame de la Val) to help them make payments on the land and is anxious for a plan to secure funding.
