Concerning Murray's purchase of Gen. Gates's warrants for military lands; as the warrants have not yet been sent, the location of them will be so protracted that the best lands will have been taken; the General should have employed an agent here; political controversies are warm over a separation from Virginia; a convention is to be held at Danville on the 27th; he would like to be able to return to Maryland.
