| Description | He explains that the petition he had sent five years early in regards to his uncle's possessions in South Carolina, had been rejected and he had been asked to wait for more favorable times before re-submitting it. He points out that at present, he does not know the state of his land, who controls it, if it has been confiscated and whether taxes are levied. He is also not sure if the title papers are in South Carolina or have been lost following the death of David Rhind, his uncle's executor, in a shipwreck. He proposes to give his land in South Carolina and Georgia, valued at over £5000 to the King in exchange of adequate compensation. |
