furnish him with a copy of your instructions so far as relates to such surveys. You will receive these instructions from Daniel Rose & Reuel Williams Esqr' two members of the Board of Commissioners with divers documents & plans as a directory. They will explain to you more fully our views and wishes than we can do in this manner. Their instructions and directions you will attend to, as if expressly within this direction. If you find it necessary you will correspond with them and any directions you receive from either of them you will follow. Your maps you will make on a scale of two miles to an inch & lay down the scale on your plan. We feel it to be our duty to press upon you the importance of having the surveys faithfully and accurately performed and the lines & corners so marked that they can be easily traced. Whatever you do, perform it well. The evils arising from inaccurate or insufficient surveys make it our duty to give these injunctions. You will be careful to make your field book complete at the time & have the original together with a fair copy of it and a map of your survey with you for the inspection of the Commissioners at their next meeting at Portland on the twenty second day of December next
