To [S.T.?] Morris Esquire Commissioner of Crown Lands The Lot marked A has been partly laid of for Casper [Bezanson?] and Lachlan Leitch, Beginning at a small Pine 6 Rods in direct Angles from the North east Line of Amos Melvins Grant which was left vacant for the purpose of avoiding any improvements the coloured People might have made, the Line was then run according to the Course mentioned in the Plan 8 Chains over Barrens where we came to a Fence put up by the coloured People, we then continued 25 Chains farther which was across Lands that had been partly cut down by them but all the wood Large and small which they thought unserviceable had been left Standing a great many of which have since fell down and the same Land altogether grown over with Bushes, this chopping had been made by a Man of the name of Arnold and Taylor who are now living on a part of Amos Melvin's grant we then continued 20 chains farther through standing wood where we came to another Clear made by a coloured Man of the name of Abram Smith, and running 5 Chains farther we got across that Clear which cut off about half an Acre of stumpy Land which appeared to be clear cut, we had then got past all the Lands which the Coloured People had cut upon, - - and the Land cut by Arnold and Taylor is only [spoild?] being far worse to bring into cultivation then if the whole of the wood had been left standing.
