Text of Record
“Many persons were here on journeys. Capt. Joseph Philips returned from the Assembly and had much news to tell, for instance that the Land Office is to be opened. The vacant land of Lord Granville and other Proprietors is to be sold, but each man may hold land which he has been using, provided he pays for it, and provided that he is a friend of the State. Loyalist land, on the other hand, is to be considered as State property.”
