The Tract of Land,
I Now live on, containing 800 acres, this Land lies about 30 miles above the town of Fredericksburg and is valuable both for its fertility and contiguity to three valuable Merchant Mills, neither of which is more than 5 miles distant. There is also on the land, a Copper mine, which from former experiment, and in the opinion of the best Judges, if worked by skillful hands, would prove to be a very productive one. The buildings consist of a dwelling House and other out Houses suitable for the accommodation of a large family. It is considered unnecessary to insert in this advertisement, all the advantages attached to the land, because the person who wishes to purchase, will no doubt view the premises, at which time he will be made acquainted and it is hoped sufficiently satisfied, as to their worth.
William Gray.
Culpeper, August 28, 1804.

ADjoining the above Land, I have a TRACT of 288 1.2 acres, which I will dispose of separate from, or with the other. The improvements consist of a tolerable goo Dwelling House, small Meat house, and a ver good barn lately built.

For further particulars, apply to the subscriber.
