Notice to quit.

The record of history is indisputable; the first Englishman in the Americas was not only a Yorkshireman, he was related to me.

First Grant & Settlement-1584
Although the English had very early made the discovery of North-America, a considerable time elapsed before any advantages accrued: Sir Walter Raliegh, in 1584, was the first Englishman who attempted to plant a colony in it. [That is a regular colony under grants -- "Sir Armigell Wadd, of Yorkshire, clerk of the council to Henry VIII, and Edward VI, and author of a book of travels, was the first Englishman that made discoveries in America." H. Walpole's anecdotes of painting, vol. ii. Catalogue of engravers, p. 18, 19.

(Wadd being the old version of my family name)

Therefore, by right of discovery, I'm issuing 30 days notice to quit the premises on the current occupiers of the North American continent and I'll be moving in at the end of May.

And I want you to leave it in the same condition it was found, thanks.
