Knives &c - they took us with

who possessed the whole of the
Country near Port Phillip - three
Brothers, all of the same name
are the Principal Chiefs, and
two of them men of six feet high
and verry good looking the other
not so tall but stoughter, the other
5 Chiefs were fine men – and
after a full explanation of what
my object was, I purchased two
large tracks of Land from them
about 600,000 Acres more or less
and delivered over to them, Blankets
Knives, looking Glasses, Tomahawks,
Beads Scissors, flour &c &c
