TREASURY DEPARTMENT,

Register's Office, 14th Feb. 1827.

GENERAL LAND OFFICE,

February 14th, 1827.

SIR: In compliance, in part, with a resolution of the Senate, dated the 16th of May, 1826, I have the honor to submit the statement marked A; which exhibits the quantity of land purchased by the United States, the quantity of public lands surveyed previous to the 1st of January 1826, and the estimated quantity of the public lands remaining unsold on the 1st of January, 1826.

The quantities of the lands purchased have been ascertained, as far as practicable, from actual surveys, and, in default of such, by geometrical calculations made from the best maps. The quantities of the lands surveyed, have been taken from the surveys which have been returned to this office, and do not include large quantities of land, particularly in the States of Mississippi and Louisiana, which are known to have been surveyed previous to the first of January, 1826; but the returns for which have not yet been forwarded to this office. This item also includes the amount of lands surveyed for Indian reservations surrounded by the public lands; but the amount of such reservations have not been included in the column of purchased lands. The tabular statements accompanying this report, numbered from No.1 to No. 10, will exhibit the data on which the column, shewing the amount of land remaining unsold in each State and Territory, is formed.

I have the honor to be,
With great respect,
Your obedient servant,
GEO, GRAHAM.

The Hon. RICHARD RUSH,
