Be it known vnto all men by these presents
Whereas
in the year of grace 1579
The great Hi-oh of the Mee Wvks
Was sedvced by the bvccaneer Francis Drake
To deliver this island o Nova Albion to Elizabeth ye
Qveene and her svccessors ors forever
Now therefore I, the present Chief E Hi-oh
Of the MeeWvk nation, do now revoke
Said grant on grovndsof deceit, fravd,
And failvre to occvpy
said domain
Done in the presence of
E Clampvs Vitus-May29, 1937
