Your fav^r of the 10^th p Post has reach'd my hands but does not
contain the information necessary, M^r Dulany the elder convey'd
all his Lands in Frederick to his two sons Daniel and Benj^r except
Locust Level, his Deed to Benj: must have been prior to that given
to Dan^l and must Specify the tracts particularly, if therefore you will
be so obliging as to favor me with a particular description of the
Lands deeded to Ben it will enable me ascertain pretty nearly the
property of Young Dan^ll M^r F. Deakins is employ'd to survey the
confiscated Lands in Frederick and Montgomery Co^tys shoud he ap-
ply you will be so good as to furnish him with any information which
your Office will afford to direct him in that business.
P. S. It is possible that M^r Dulany has first Deeded all his Lands
to his son Dan^l and that Young Dan^l has afterwards given to his
Brother Ben. the Lands he possesses, should this be the case you will
be pleasd to describe the Lands deeded by young Dan^l to his Brother
Ben.
