President Madison grants John Holderman of Montgomery County, Ohio, a parcel of land "to be sold at Cincinnati by the act of Congress, entitled 'An act providing for the sale of the lands of the United States in the Territory north west of the Ohio, and above the mouth of Kentucky river.'" Signed at the conclusion by James Madison and countersigned by Commissioner of the General Land Office Edward Tiffin. Lower left retains the original General Land Office seal.
