[Transcriber's note: this iss a surveyor's plan, not possible to represent without special formatting tools. The transcriptions here are therefore only of the words on the paper. I have typed them in a list, but the list follows roughly the order of the names and the surveyor's notations as they appear from left to right, moving from top to bottom of the sheet of paper.]

I am a Shamed to send you so awkwardly painted a Sheet but have not time to have it Copied, nor any older boy by to do it, [transcriber's note: this note may be T. Chamberlain's handwriting, ditto the measurements -- i.e. numbers of chains -- on the plan. The other handwriting would therefore appear to be added separately, probably later. ]
