town, and not more than three from Matildaville, at the Great
Falls of Potomac. There is a valuable seat on the premises, and the
whole is conditionally sold for the sum annexed in the schedule.

(_b_) What the selling prices of lands in the vicinity of these two
tracts are, I know not; but, compared with those above the Ridge, and
others below them, the value annexed will appear moderate; a less one
would not obtain them from me.

(_c_) The surrounding land, not superior in soil, situation, or
properties of any sort, sells currently at from twenty to thirty dollars
an acre. The lowest price is affixed to these.

(_d_) The observations made in the last note apply equally to this
tract; being in the vicinity of them, and of similar quality, although
it lies in another county.

(_e_) This tract, though small, is extremely valuable. It lies on
Potomac River, about twelve miles above the town of Bath, or Warm
Springs, and is in the shape of a horseshoe; the river running almost
around it. Two hundred acres of it are rich low grounds, with a great
abundance of the largest and finest walnut trees; which, with the
produce of the soil, might (by means of the improved navigation of the
Potomac) be brought to a shipping port with more ease, and at a smaller
expense, than that which is transported thirty miles only by land.

(_f_) This tract is of second-rate Gloucester low ground. It has no
improvements thereon, but lies on navigable water, abounding in fish and
oysters. It was received in payment of a debt (carrying interest), and
valued in the year 1789, by an impartial gentleman, at L800. N. B. It
has lately been sold, and there is due thereon a balance, equal to what
is annexed in the schedule.

(_g_) These 373 acres are the third part of an undivided purchase made
by the deceased Fielding Lewis, Thomas Walker, and myself, on full
conviction that they would become valuable. The land lies on the road
from Suffolk and Norfolk, touches (if I am not mistaken) some part of
the navigable water of Nansemond River. The rich Dismal Swamp is capable
of great improvement, and from its situation must become extremely
valuable.

(_h_) This is an undivided interest, which I hold in the Great Dismal
Swamp Company, containing about 4000 acres, with my part of the
plantation and stock thereon, belonging to the Company in the said
swamp.

(_i_) These several tracts of land are of the first quality, on the Ohio
River, in the parts whe
