When Mr Smith [Survey General's Office] found that mistake he wrote MrFelker to give up the lot to me, but he has refused to do so. I have cleared about 10 acres, in a good fence, as it is distressing to be turned into the wilderness with my family. Singed Walter Clandenin, Gainsborough, 2 Feb 1797.
