OCTOBER 22, 1850.
To The Editor - Dear Sir: - I have understood that there is a report in circulation in the county; that I have some claim to the tract of land, which I conveyed to my father some years ago. My object in writing this note is to say that I have never said or done anything to induce any one to think that I had the slightest claim whatever, to the land in question. All the claim I ever had, I sold to my father some years since, and I think he paid me a full and fair price for it, and the Deed is of record in the Clerk's Office of the County Court of Jefferson. I have now no claim of any sort kind or description to the said land, either in law or equity.
JOHN W. D. DUFFIELD.
