Col. STEPHEN F AusTIN. I send you the returns, of the Land below Eagle Lake with the amount of the Surveying of Each League Set down on the back of the return, which I would be glad you would receive, if the locaters have property that suits you, and credit my account with the same. I was mistaken some in the Quantity of Land in the 13 th and 14lii Leagues there was no more than the common Quantity with out takeing in the Lake and a Larger portion of the prairie than usual give Andrew and Thomas Rabb their Deeds if they want them I have made an arrangement for the Surveying with them if they want to know the amount of Surveying $129 is the nmount of the 8 th and· 9 th Leagues • R, ALLEY [Rubric] January 11 th 1825
