For the Hon. Proprietaries
"Lynford Lardner, Receiver Gen."
The appendix says further, "The purchaser not being skill'd in Accounts, but amazed at the Sum, apply'd to a Friend to examine this Account, " which was done, and it was found that the Proprietaries through the land Department, had overcharged him on the two tracts F91 11s. 4-3/4 d. The land was heavily timbered with " fine oak, hickory, walnut, chestnut, locust, poplar and laurel trees," And was given by John Fisher and his wife Grace to their son, George Fisher.
