Summary
Has received from Adam Belcher the balance due for the purchase of land in Cheesecock's patent. Has advised Clark to sell his beef even though the price is low, since the embargo will certainly be continued and the non-intercourse bill will probably pass, keeping prices down. Is persuaded Maria is entitled to all of her child's estate but asks John Jay to look up the relevant statute in the Jones and Varick edition. Family news.
