1st Tho' the Eastern Boundarys of this province and the Western Boundarys of New Hampshire so far as they Bound on one another (Being Both under his Majesty's immediate government) intirely depend on his Majesty's pleasure, Yet as the Eastern Boundary of this Province, was by the Grant of King Charles the Second to the Duke of York, 1663-4, fixed at Connecticut river, now near ninety year ago, where it has ever since remained So far as Concerns New Hampshire, we humbly Conceive that his Majesty will make no alteration of the Bounds therof without sufficient Reasons, and we know not of any, nor has Governour Wentworth pointed out any, But sundry Reasons appear against any alteration, which are particularly Set forth in the Surveyor Generalls Letter Entered in the minutes of Councill of Oct: 18, 1751.

Qdly Governour Wentworth is pleased To Say that, "the Massachusetts Bay have allowed the Government of New York To extend their Claim also Twenty miles East of Hudson's River." On which we observe that this is a Very new kind of Title that Governour Wentworth says his Majesty has to a great part of this his province the allowance ef his Subjects of the Massachusetts Bay, We apprelend that no good Title can be within his Majestys Dominions But under valid Grants of the Crown, and know of no valid Grant that Massachusetts Bay have' to any Soil or Jurisdiction west of Connecticut River, and that they have none appears in a Strong Light by a Report approved in the Conncill of this province on the 20'" of ffebruary Last (which contains the subtance of and more than the Attorney Generals Representation before mentioned) which has been Communicated to the Government of the Massachusetts Bay, and To which no direct answer has as yet Been given, tho again and again requested.
