*To LORD STIRLING
January [20], 1775.

    My Lord: Your Lordships favour of the 31st. of October never came to my hands till a few days ago and then unaccompanied with any Printed Lists of the fortunate Prizes as

mentiond in your Letter; some time ago I came across one of these Lists in a Gentns. possession wch. I found that out of the Six Tickets wch. I kept on my own Acct. two of them were fortunate, viz.

    One of £200 No. 58 in the division of Wenhams great
Lot, in the Hardenbergs Patent, in Ulster County near
Rochester

    The other (I think) of £6 and numberd 347

    If your Lordship will be obliging enough to let me know what kind of Lotts these are, and what kind of use they can be put to, I shall thank you. Not having a list about me (at the time I examined my own) of the remaining 12 Tickets I could not tell whether any of them were fortunate or not, but have wrote to the purchasers for payment, and shall settle with Mr. Cock agreeable to your Lordships desire.

    In respect to my own Lotts you will please to do the needful in respect to the conveyance of them. My respectful Compts. await Lady Sterlg., Lady Mary, and Lady Kitty, and I am with the greatest esteem, etc.
