The legible items reference individuals such as Borba Fonauany and Phil Pulte Govonnteyanr alongside scattered place and event fragments, but most details are indecipherable.

It details rough terrain, improvised camps, and a tense journey with recalls to February and harsh weather, highlighting danger and survival efforts amid a rugged landscape.

Entries include individuals such as Acuemexaot, McKimlainy, Brown, Daniel, Dodou, McKenbpie, and others with diverse acreages and payments noted in the record. The document appears to be a roll of landowners and amounts due or paid, spanning multiple names, amounts, and placeholders like 40a, 100 vy, and 3200 wi lai, indicating a formal ledger of land charges and settlements.
A garbled 19th century style notice mentions a pasture protection district and a disputed division within a state district.
