In taking the census thereof I was engaged in riding about ninety days and upon an average travelled about 20 miles per day. The difficulties I had to encounter were many. Frequent obstructions presented themselves in leaving the main travelling roads, as bye ways and such paths as I was compelled to travel were in very many places obstructed by plantation housing[?] over almost impassable grounds __ which rendered travelling in those parts very fatiguing, tedious & Disagreeable. A very considerable part of the County is thus situated and therefore would seem according to Equity & Justice to require extra compensation for the labours necessarily attendant upon obtaining the Census required.
