From the nature of the Contract entered into Between Capt. Rogers
& Samuel
Hopkins
as Superintendant for the Trustees, it is apparent that the said
John
should from time to time
receive money for the Brick laid on the principal building; and he having called
on me for a Certificate of those laid this summer suggesting that he had laid
about one hundred thousand. I am willing to suppose that, probably nigh that
number may have been laid this season, supposing, at the same time, for no
actual calculation of the number laid has taken place, that no danger exists of
paying him in excess.
