Samuel Holden Parsons To Henry Knox About The Dealings Of The Ohio Company 24 December 1787

Writes that By a Resolution of Congress the Ohio Company are intitled to sink their military Rights in the Purchase to the Amount of the Seventh of the Purchase Monies and asks for documents to facilitate that end. Notes that he has contracted with the Connecticut commissioners to run the lines of their Reserve to the Indian Boundary. Asks if the military there can assist him, if a Post will be establish'd next Season near the Mouth of the Cuyahoga, or whither Capt. Hutchins will be directed to take the Course of Lake Erie next Spring. Recommends Mr. [Manasseh?] Cutler to replace Mr. Armstrong if the latter resigns his appointment in the West Country. Says that adoption of the federal Constitution is certain in Connecticut.
