Certification of JS in the handwriting of William Clayton. Clayton may have copied the letter into the registry of deeds and made the accompanying notations on the original letter in order to have Hotchkiss’s intentions regarding the disposition of the land officially recorded until the 1839 agreement could be renegotiated, which occurred in July 1843. (Bond from Smith Tuttle and John Gillet, 7 July 1843, p. 446 herein; see also Agreement with George W. Robinson, 30 Apr. 1839, in JSP, D6:439–442.)
