Will examine my a/c and statement of Inc., &c & memorial
(inclosed) which if you think will answer I will thank you to lay them
before the
President and m. Sladem. H. Murphreed day of April 1811, for
certain lands which the trustees then laid claim to in d day of April 1811 that is the 1st due 2d April 1812 the 2d due 2d apr 1813 and the 3d due the 2d apr 1814 all of
which became due before the titles were established by the y 1816 as your memorialist believes and by the
procrastination of the suits of law respecting the title, have subjected
your memo.s to much inconvenience and a burthen of
interest to amount of $247.50 making the calculation of Int from
the beginning due of the bonds to the 1st Jany 1816 that your memos. have paid in
principal $1947, without Int which with Int make
$2047.59½. That the Int on the debt of $1500,
calculating Int to 24th Septr 1818
the date of the last payment is $493.11. Principal and Int makes
$1993.11 which from the a/c stated if correct, the credit
extinguish the debt and leave a balance of $54.48½ due in favour
of your memorialist &c.
Now may it please the honourable board &c to calculate and correct my
a/c if erroneous and further grant that the Int which accrued before the
title were known, which is stated $247.50 and the balance between
the debit and credit which appears to be $54.48½ which makes the
sum of $301.98½ which your memorialist conceived that in equity
and good conscience should be paid back to him which would leave a balance
due the
Your memorialist submit these remarks to shew the a/c more fully &c.
Your mems. pray to be acquitted from the Int accrued
before title confirmed and to be heard & dealt with in money as your
mems. were drawn into the compromise contrary to his
will whereby his own Judgment was perverted through advice of Mr.
