Nonsensical, humurous short writing that appears on the reverse of listing of acreage. The handwriting matches that of John Leake, and mentions a girl who will be "standing in Mr. Leake's pew". There is also a fragment of a list labeled "Number" for one column and "Quantuty of acres" for a second column. The "number" presumably referred to lot numbers, and matches the handwriting of John Leake, as does the humorous short writing on the reverse side.
