7.75" x 9.75". [4] pp, folded, entirely in ink manuscript. Old folds [light dust along a few folds], minimal foxing. Small tear to outer margin of first leaf [no text loss]. Very Good. Levi Hubbell [1808-1876] graduated from Union College and moved to Wisconsin in 1844.

He offers suggestions to void the sale: "I understand that a considerable number of the land grant bondholders, whom you represent, are dissatisfied with the recent sale of the lands & road, in Judge Miller's Court; and certainly they have good cause for it." A petition to set the sale aside should preferably be presented "by some attorney from N. York. There is little doubt that Judge Miller is unduly favorable to the late purchasers." Confirmation of the sale would result in "a stupendous swindle, by which a very few are to be benefited." Hubbell explains that Judge Miller's decision created cloud on the title. The absence of clear title will inevitably depress the value of the property.…
