Fielding Lewis sends to Sharp Delany as well as the other managers of the United STates Lottery a list of tickets that have been sold. He writes that he cannot sell more because other tickets are dispersing through different means and have saturated the area.; American Philosophical Society
Samuel Purviance writes to Jacob Barge about the lottery tickets. He writes that he has 600 tickets left. Purviance discusses some concerns he has about the lottery. "I am therefore of opinion that if the sale of tickets has been such as to answer the drawing, it might be very advisable to inform the Publick thereof by continued Advertisements, which may encourage the sale."; American Philosophical Society
