Again, Craigie had important relations with Robert Morris and Phelps and Gorham concerning the purchase of New York lands. It is unfortunate that only a few of the Craigie Papers relate to these notable land speculations; those which do are of priceless value. There are a mass of letters between Craigie and his brother - in-law Foster concerning the purchase and furnishing of the now famous Craigie house in Cam bridge, where the almost penniless speculator spent his last years and from which, rumor still has it in Cam bridge, he often dared not stir because of the lynx-eyed sheriff's careful watch. This interesting house has been carefully described, evidently with these papers as the basis of investigation, in the American Antiqua rian Society Proceedings for April, 1900.
