-bridge and Brothertown, we earnestly desire that none of you may
discourage them by swearing, idleness, drunkenness or misbehavior;
for these things are very disagreeable to us, as you know they are

of the common that lies west of the path from Skanandoahs

part thereof now occupied by your families
