To All to Whom these Presents Shall Come We the undersigned Chiefs of the Mohawk Band of Indians of the Bay of Quinte, resident on our Reserve in the Township of Tyendinaga in the County of Hastings in the Province of Ontario and Dominion of Canada, Send Greeting Whereas we did on the eighth day of May one thousand eight hundred and eighty-three demise, release, surrender, quit claim and yield up unto our Sovereign Lady the Queen, Blocks K and M Deseronto to have and to hold the same unto her said Majesty, Her Heirs and Successors forever in trust to sell and convey the same to such person or persons and upon such terms as the Government of Canada might deem most conducive to our welfare and that of our people, and upon the further condition among others “that purchasers of lots shall pay at least one fourth of the purchase money at the time of sale and the balance in three equal Annual installments bearing interest on the unpaid balances of six per cent per annum.”
And Whereas we have considered it advisable in our interest that the purchasers of lots in Block K be given a longer time within which to pay therefor.
Now Therefore Know Ye that in consideration of the premises we hereby amend our said Surrender of the eighth day of May, One thousand eight hundred and eighty-three by substituting instead of the clause as to payment hereinbefore recited the following clause viz.—‘that purchasers of lots in Block IX aforesaid shall pay at least one tenth of the purchase money at the time of sale and the balance in nine equal annual installments bearing interest on the unpaid balances of six per cent per annum.”
In Witness Whereof We the Said Chiefs have set our hands and affixed our seals this Eleventh day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and Ninety-two.
Signed, Sealed and Delivered in the presence of us.
