"NOTHING WILL BE DONE THIS SESSION..." "I gave Mr. J. Chase my answers to your Letter...I should have wrote, but he left my house immediately after I received it & I thought a memorandum in writing would have been acceptable. I am now informed by him, that he neglected to call on you. Think me therefore not guilty of any Neglect. You will keep the Chairs as long as you please. I will consult with J.C. and fling in a Petition for you, but I expect Nothing will be done this Session [of the state legialsture?]. I shall ever be ready to serve you and yours."
Chase represented Maryland in the Continental Congress in 1776-1778, was later Chief Justice of the Maryland Superior Court and finally an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court (from 1796 to 1811).
Provenance: Philip D. Sang (sale, Sotheby Parke Bernet, 26 April 1778, part lot 262).
