   They own in live stock : one ox, live cows, two pigs, one horse and twelve fowls. On Michaelmas day next they will have been two years in the colony. The land on which they are settled is on the west point of the Lake de Mordienne on the lands lying south of the bay. The quality of the land does not seem to be at all suitable for the cultivation of wheat. It is reddish, sandy and very light. There is not more than a foot of soil to work, and under that is found a bed of rock. They have cleared sufficient ground to sow three bushels of oats between three settlers, who are there by permission of Messieurs Desherbiers and Prevost.
