Unfortunately I cannot distinguish the text on the back page because of color issues (I am color blind). What I can state, however, is that in the transcription by a previous transcriber, I believe that the word transcribed as "Lieiies" corresponds to the distance measurement unit "Lieues" ("Leagues" in English) and that the word transcribed as "torses?" corresponds to "toises".
1 lieue = 84 arpents = 840 perches = 2,520 toises = 15,120 pieds
