One document is a December 1, 1796 contract to sell Burr 100,000 acres of land in New York; it is signed by Burr and Herman LeRoy and witnessed by Alexander Hamilton and Theophile Cazenove. A second document is a cancellation of the contract, dated June 13, 1799. This cancellation is signed by Burr, Herman LeRoy, and Le Roy, Bayard & McEvers and witnessed by Theophile Cazenove and C. Hardoin. Attached to this cancellation is a plat drawing locating the land. The drawing, which has been mutilated, originally measured 15 x 19 inches"}
