[NOTE: this leaf is a later document (dated 1834), written in a smaller, faint hand that is harder to read reliably than most of the volume; it appears to be a deed/quit-claim or affidavit addressed to the Town Clerk of Sudbury, referencing a mortgage or judgment and a parcel of land, followed by dated endorsements (June 21st 1834 and June 30th 1834) and signatures including a "McCleary."
