The wording for each grant is precisely the same except for:
- {1} The name of the grant recipient;
- {2} The acres acquired and total price (always 5 cents / acre);
- {3} The date of the certificate given the recipient;
- {4} The date authorization was given the surveyor.

Only grant one will be printed here with the items that change marked with a { }. Information from the later grants will be shown at the end of the article. The first section shows the receipt that was apparently given the grant recipient when he paid his 5 cents per acre to the County Treasurer. The second section is the instructions given to the county surveyor. All abbreviations were typed as shown in the original document.
