Excerpt from The Discoveries of John Lederer, in Three Several Marches From Virginia, to the West of Carolina, and Other Parts of the Continent: Begun in March 1669, and Ended in September 1670; Together With a General Map of the Whole Territory Which He Traversed From this discourse it is clear that the long looked-for discovery of the Indian Sea does nearly approach; and Carolina, out of her happy experience of your lordships success in great undertakings, presumes that the accomplish ment of this glorious designe is reserved for her.
