[553]
No decision yet on... discrimination; this day Mr. [James] Madison... [spoke] in a masterly manner; thinks Madison's proposal will lose, abt. thirty to twenty four; failed to say that he had answered Mr. McCubbin's letter, respecting the purchase of Long's land; was thinking of buying only because Long owed him [Smith] a debt; he discovered very earlin in business that, if he purchased, he must pay the money or Certificates to the State, or he could not obtain a title; wants about twenty acres... adjoining Orange even on their terms; asks Williams to get him a good tenant for Riley's lot by March; would take a low rent in order to get someone who would take care of the garden and fruit trees; if no one offers, perhaps Mr. Edwards who owns and works a lot adjoining would, for the use of the garden, take care of the whole lot.

Endorsed by Williams: 18 February 1790 Mr. Wm. Smith.
