Mrs. Swan tells Knox that the time has come for him to pay heed to the agreement he made with her to "purchase of me the twenty five thousand acres of land which you formerly sold to Genl. Jackson." Mrs. Swan is in great need of the money. She says the sum total of what she is owed is fifty thousand dollars but she would accept less right now "rather than be incumbered with lands which I know not how to manage."
