William H. Harrison to William McIntosh^[1]

Greenfield Kentucky, 3rd April 1801

Burton Historical Collection, 59

Dear Sir:

I am informed by Judge [John] Griffin^[2] that the land which I bought of [Francis] Vigo was included in the Mortgage given to his Creditors at Detroit—if so I must ask the favor of you to get these gentlemen to release the Mortgage on Condition of my securing the purchase money to them— This I will do—& pay it in two equal annual payments Viz one half on the 1st of Jany next & the ballance the ensuing Jany. (1803) this will certainly be favorable for them as there is no chance of their getting the money from Vigo—but by foreclosing the Mortgage or in this way—I wish you could get Authority from this Company to release any other land which I may purchase from Vigo—& the payments of which to be made to them—

I shall set out for Vincennes in a few days where I hope to see you soon—

I am with great Regard

Your Humb Servt.

Willm H. Harrison
