Discusses a map that Captain Stone was to deliver to Jackson, possibly concerning Waldo patent lands.

Comments, Why do you not get your diplomas? Our friend Genl Washington must die - a diploma of his signature would be worth ten of any other persons - Besides this certainty of his stepping out of the world, he will be out of office as president, at the next meeting.
