I shall therefore as soon as mine is perfected Trans- "matt you an authentick Coppy thereof, and shall Indeayour To '' make it as short and plain as the Nature and Circumstances of " the case will admit." Upon which Letter we beg leave to observe that we are well assured no coppy of any Representa- : tion by Governour Wentworth on that matter ever came To Governour Clintons hands, untill we received the abovementioned Extract of a Letter from Mt Wentworth to the Board of Trade the date of which is Less than Seven months after Governour Wentworths promise in his Letter to Governour Clinton last mentioned and we have the more reason to Believe that no Coppy of that Representation was sent by Governour Wentworth To Governour Clinton, Because no mention is therein made of its being So Communicated.

That in pursuance of the Order of the 24th of July 1750 the Then Attorney Generall of this province prepared and delivered a Representation to Governour Clinton Concerning the Eastern Boundarys of this province which was read in Councill the 29t® day of September 1750 and Referred To a Committee of the Councill or any three of them to consider :

That on the 18" of October 1751 the Committee to whom. the Said Representation was Referred, Reported to Governour Clinton and Councill their approbation thereof, and it was then approved of in Councill and Ordered To Be Entered in the minutes thereof Together with a Letter from the Surveyor Generall of this Province on the same subject which were both entered on the minutes of the Councill accordingly.
