Summary
These documents are records of the Holland Land Company's dealings with Aaron Burr in 1796 and 1799. Herman LeRoy, Jan Lincklaen, and Geritt Boon were Company agents. One document is a December 1, 1796 contract to sell Burr 100,000 acres of land in New York; it is signed by Burr and Herman LeRoy and witnessed by Alexander Hamilton and Theophile Cazenove. A second document is a cancellation of the contract, dated June 13, 1799. This cancellation is signed by Burr, Herman LeRoy, and Le Roy, Bayard & McEvers and witnessed by Theophile Cazenove and C. Hardoin. Attached to this cancellation is a plat drawing locating the land. The drawing, which has been mutilated, originally measured 15 x 19 inches.
