{"value"=>"Whether the deed from Mercer to Washington differed in substance from the former, he does not recollect, but the date being a twelvemonth later might be of serious consequences; it might let in creditors and subsequent purchasers; suggests that after acknowledging the receipt, Washington should remark that upon noticing variance from former deed, he finds it necessary to inquire reason for change; that although no doubt was entertained as to the propriety of any thing contained in the new deed, the postponement of the date a year later might look as if the contract had then been made for the first time, and that in the meantime Washington would keep the deed to be decided on."}
