402. J. Aplin to Gideon White, in receipt of letters. ''I think I shall prevent any Escheat of the Barrington Lands; consequently you will not be able to get any Part of the Farm alluded to in your first Letter. - But should (contrary to my Expectation, or your own Wish) a Forfeiture of that Farm take Place, you may safely rely upon my Friendship in your Behalf. He will be writing Col. Tongue and will use all his influence with him to secure to you what you wish to be put into Possession of.'' Holograph.
