General note
Signed with cross (presumably by François Rousseau) and signature of Owen McDougal.
General note
Printed form on laid paper with handwritten additions, identical to MSG 1108-07 and MSG 1108-08. This is a generic contract form, not found in Lande. It was likely a Canadian imprint printed prior to 1800.
General note
Month of contract date is not given; Lande dates this contract to 5 February 1800.
General note
Contract likely represents a verbal agreement, as no employment conditions are stipulated and the voyageur appears to be illiterate.
