Description
Correspondence between Virgil Barber and John Deane in which Barber notifies Deane that he has "prevailed on the Indians to reconsider their resolution respecting the sale of their lower Townships. Accordingly I have the satisfaction to say, that they have requested me to inform you they are ready to hear any proposals you are disclosed to make...and that if the terms can be agreed on, they are willing to sell." Barber was a Jesuit priest assigned to Old Town until his recall in 1830.
