Description: 1835 Buffalo NY blue oval on a 2-page G B Webster letter to Reverand William Richmond "Bloomingdale, New York City" regarding Buffalo Creek Indian Reservation Land for Sale. Content includes "I have taken great pains to inform myself of the probable value of a contracted share of the Indian Reservation. I have had an interview with the Indian Agent & also with the Agent of the Ogden Company or magistrate of part of that company as well also as with other well informed persons and I give you the result of my inquiries. You are aware that the quantity of land contracted is about 116,000 acres; about 50,000 of which are in the Buffalo Creek Reservation of which constitutes probably 6 or 7 eights of the whole value of the property which value to the company of course depends on the Indian title being extinguished to do which may cost more than three hundred thousand dollars. "Assuming the facts and judging from the opinion of that person to whom I have most confidence, my conclusion is that a share should be north from 40 to 50 thousand dollars. "If I can serve you any further in this matter or in any other, will you please to command me. Mr. Shelton reaching home this morning in good health & spirits. Have seen him only for a moment. I shall be pleased to hear from you further as you prosper. Most Respectfully I am dear sir your obedient servant. G. B. Webster. Free Domestic Shipping - Not a reproduction.
