To this purpose, getting a kind of letter of naturalisation, I purchased as much land that was uncured as my money would reach, and formed a plan for my plantation and settlement; such a one as might be suitable to the stock which I proposed to myself to receive from England.
Dans ce dessein, ayant obtenu une sorte de lettre de naturalisation, j'achetai autant de terre inculte que mon argent me le permit, et je formai un plan pour ma plantation et mon établissement proportionné à la somme que j'espérais recevoir de Londres.
