This document is in the hand of William Duer, but the last sentence on page 3 is written by Knox, who also signed it. States that Duer and Knox accede to the forming of a French colony on their land in Maine, probably in reference to Madame de la Val and Mr. de la Roche's inquiries. Proclaims a need for the boundaries of the colony to be precise. The two parties still need to describe the number of rations that need to be purchased and their price, the number and size of the houses to be built, and the price of the land. Reports that The Subscriber is of Opinion that a Vessell from New York to the lands in question will not be necessary, as enough ships make frequent trips along the coast already. The ultimate agreement is to be drawn immediately after the lands have been viewed and approved.
