Mr. Drummond.
Sir,
Out last unto you was by Mr Peeter Carteret accompaning your Comission and Instructions for the Government of the County of Albemarle in which we confined the County to 40. myles square or 40. square myles, in which there was a mistake for it should have been 1600 square myles instead of 40. of which you are to take notice and to bound the County accordingly and if it be not enough to comprehend all the plantations already under that Government give us notice of the deft, and on what points of the Compas those plantations lye, that are without the bounds (from the entrance of the mayne River) and we cann soone enlarge your bounds; and shall if there be reason for it, wee rest
Cockpitt.
January 7th 1664-65.
