former pattents to Bohemia by leaving out Towne Point in
my mapp called Caecilton, when it is the very beginning and

ending that comprehends Bohemia Manno^r in its naturall
bounds by Bohemia & Elk River divideing, and that the pro-
poseall to a Towne to his old L^dspp was onely by myself (then
hoped for) to be erected and settled by me and my Associates
for which I have his old L^dsps hand writeing under date the
18^th Septemb: 61: to manifest the truth. In pursuance whereof
I have petitioned his L^dsp now that the s^d Towne Point may
not be left severed but reentred and Inserted into my new
Bohemia Pattent; and if that is passed and cannot be altered,
then by a Pattent by itself to me and my posterity or heyres
and Assignes for the good of a tow ne which we shall
endeavour to propagate when God shall permitt according

inserted within my new Grant Bohemia Pattent if possible
though I should pay twice for the writeing of it and remember
you for your paines besides; when I was last at S^t Maries my
Sickness had Stupified my senses soe that I could then not
express my self as now I see I should have done. And if his
L^dsp grants me and my sonn our Request as I doubt not, then
there is noe other Alterations in the new Pattent to be made
then (viz) [Beginning on the South Point of Bohemia and Elk
River Divideing, and from thence Eastward up along the said
Bohemia River neare the head to Hermans Branch by Oppo-
quermin Landing Point, and thence up the said Eastermost
Runn to the high way Road, and further along the said Road
Northerly to Bohemiah Back Creeke Runn from thence west-
erly downe unto Elk River, and Southerly downe the said Elk
River to the Point on Elk and Bohemia River divideing other-
wise called Towne Point or Csecilton aforesaid; againe being
thus bounded on the South by Bohemia River, East by a high
way Road; North by Bohemia Back Creeke, and West by
Elk River. And the truth hereof appeared evidently in my
mapp or Plott left with you in the Office for that purpose.
Pray forgett not to endorse in the Margin upon John Brown-
ings two Certificates by George Holland Entred upon Record
that it is done by a mistake and that the same Land belongs to
me in little Bohemia as formerly desired to prevent further
Erro^r in time to come. Not else at present then my thankfull
service recommended to you rest from Bohemia ffeb^ry 8th
1681. Yours to Comand
Augustine Herman

The Clk of the Councill informing his L^dsp that Augustine
