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.
Ottenuta dunque una specie di lettera di naturalità, acquistai quanto terreno incolto poteva comprare col danaro presente, formando i miei disegni per l’immaginata piantagione, disegni ne’ quali feci entrare anche il danaro ch’io mi prefiggea di ritirare da Londra.
