from_o my_o lord_n your_o lordship_n most_o humble_a and_o obliged_a servant_n john_n campbel_n now_o to_o satisfy_v all_o reasonable_a people_n who_o do_v not_o use_v these_o expression_n upon_o a_o

person_n have_v not_o be_v above_o eight_o day_n in_o the_o country_n when_o they_o write_v these_o letter_n weary_a toil_v and_o freat_v with_o a_o tedious_a journey_n about_o 200._o mile_n overland_o from_o mary_n land_n where_o they_o have_v be_v put_v in_o by_o stress_n at_o sea_n that_o their_o information_n proceed_v from_o the_o old-planters_n who_o beside_o their_o emnitie_n to_o our_o countryman_n and_o unwillingness_n they_o shall_v come_v in_o upon_o they_o do_v all_o that_o they_o can_v to_o discourage_v those_o at_o their_o first_o come_n and_o to_o undervalue_v the_o

they_o see_v they_o be_v not_o like_a to_o do_v and_o be_v call_v in_o question_n for_o several_a large_a tract_n of_o land_n they_o have_v have_v in_o possession_n though_o not_o improve_v by_o they_o all_o agree_v they_o be_v a_o lazy_a people_n and_o have_v no_o true_a tittle_n too_o and_o we_o have_v certain_a information_n from_o other_o who_o be_v many_o month_n upon_o the_o place_n that_o they_o use_v the_o same_o discouragement_n to_o they_o upon_o their_o first_o arivale_n but_o they_o in_o a_o short_a time_n discover_v their_o falsehood_n and_o fraudulent_a design_n in_o it_o as_o appear_v in_o this_o very_a case_n by_o letter_n write_v a_o month_n and_o more_o after_o the_o date_n of_o these_o to_o wit_n the_o middle_a and_o end_n of_o december_n whereas_o these_o be_v

by_o these_o letter_n in_o the_o affair_n of_o jersey_n manifest_a their_o malice_n or_o at_o least_o their_o ignorance_n but_o next_o they_o gross_o be-speak_a their_o ignorance_n that_o look_v they_o have_v no_o convenient_a land_n if_o not_o upon_o a_o navigable_a river_n for_o what_o country_n can_v be_v suppose_v to_o lie_v all_o thus_o must_v not_o the_o riches_n and_o export_n of_o
