Note to the Preceding written Statement.
No specific testimony of the multi[?]transaction referred to between the Claimants and Mr. Alexander in relation to the lots in question was ever taken in presence of each party, vs formally examined by me but Commissioner Mr. E. Bailey, or by the President when President near the spot, or by any Commissioner afterwards, or at the time of the alleged transfer, nor any more explicit statement than the letter previously inserted, ever made, to be recorded. and the Claimants alleged as the reason of their not purchasing the land of Mr. Goodale intended in the bargain in lieu of holding their own lots in the upper region, that he demanded high prices & would not fulfill stipulated conditions, & thus subjecting themselves to right of losing what they had given up in anticipating of larger lots. The conditions & terms of which transfer appear not to have been committed to writing at the time - and have never been before the Board formally. J.H. Smith, Sec. (an un-business proceeding from first to last with all engaged in it).
