Title
Simmons Asking McRea to Obviate Contradictory and Complicating Contracts
Description
McRea had to do with the forming of contracts in North Carolina for 1800, and many of these are obtuse and contradictory. Simmons feels that McRea is well-positioned to smooth out the inconsistencies between various orders and contracts. Simmons wishes McRea to explain satisfactorily the causes of so many contracts being given out and how they are to be understood. Simmons asks that if McRea feels authorized to form these contracts himself, he should transmit copies of the letters to Simmons.
