{"value"=>"His nephew gives a very favorable description of the western country, and has brought accounts of valuable locations; is now anxious to get some goods to send out by his nephew, the profits of which may be laid out in lands; no one but John Lewis carried goods from this state this spring; Gen. [James] Wilkinson, in the neighborhood of the falls, expected some; the emigration will be large this spring; a letter of the 12th from Monroe says that the Virginia cession is accepted and that five Indian agents are appointed to purchase the land; probable effect of this on land speculation; he expects to be at Richmond when the Assembly sits; will give notice of any good bargain."}
