>From the Territorial Papers of Florida:

"I have enclose the claim, under which Doctor Hall has assumed the right
to sell timber, you will observe that the Memorial and conditional Grant
located the Land on the East side of the Road leading from St. Augustine
to Saint Nicholas on Dewee's Creek --- under the claim they were cutting
Live Oak on Julington Creek about Six miles West of said Road, and I
should Judge at least eight miles from the place named in the enclosed
papers --- Not one condition named in Governor Coppingers Decree of 5th
June 1818. has been complied with and had the\e Heirs of Pritchard
confined themselves to the Lands for which they petitioned, I cannot
imagine any authority they have to dispose of the Timber, until the
Water Saw Mill is erected."

NOTE: the man Pritchard referred to here is Robert Pritchard.
