Jas. Fort Order

Sir: I would be glad [if] you would make an entry of one hundred acres of land on the North Side of the Panter Swamp near the Bul-Pond. I would have sent the money, but I understand by Mr. McLauchlon that W. McKay sent an order to you to pay me some money, which I thought, might answer the purpose. Whether or not, I expect to go up to the society at W. McKay's Saturday next, and I will settle with you then. March the 13^th, 1794.

Witness: Neill Brown Jas. Fort
