Solomon BELLEW, a Roman Catholic, has the honor to represent that

tract of land in his Majesty's domain, and on the south side of
the Missouri, therefore he supplicates you to have the goodness to
grant to him, at the said place, three hundred and fifty arpens of
land in superficies. The petitioner, possessing the means
necessary to make a farm, and having no other views but to live as
a peaceable and submissive cultivator of the soil, hopes to obtain
the favor he solicits of your justice.
St. Andre, December 5, 1800
Be it forwarded to the commander-in-chief, with the information

St. Andre, December 5, 1800
St. Louis of Illinois, December 11, 1800
In consequence of the information given by the commandant of St.
Andre, Don Santyago Mackay, I do grant to the petitioner the tract
of land of three hundred and fifty arpens in superficies, which he
solicits, provided it is not to the prejudice of any person; and
the Surveyor, Don Antonio Soulard, shall put the party interested
in possession of the said quantity of land demanded in the place
designated; and this being executed, he shall make out a plat,
delivering the same to said party, together with his certificate,
in order to serve to him to obtain the concession and title in
form from the Intendant General, to whom alone belongs the
distributing and granting all classes of land of the royal domain.
