"The land in question has already been claimed and boundary stakes set by the previous expedition that mapped it. Thus the land will be divided intially within those boundaries and those lands not distributed outright to the claimants are reserved for the colonial council to sell, grant or hold in reserve. So as the claim has already been establised and marked in the treaty we are in effect transferring our rights of ownership with the exception of those 100,000 acres to the colnial goverment."
"As to the question of slave labor it has been agreed to by treaty that slaves shall be allowed to be imported into the colony for ten years after it's founding at which time it will be forbidden.
