This is the travel diary of an anonymous man who might have been a surveyor or land developer. He described the land he saw during his travels and meticulously recorded acreage and locations of trees. He also repeatedly mentioned "Huntsman's Delight," a tract of land. He remarked that he might be able to get a forge or furnace owner to buy it, but it is an "inferior" tract, and "the wood has been shamefully culled off of it."
