4thly Governour Wentworth is pleased to express- himself thus, " presuming it will Be his Majesty's pleasure that a North and South line should divide both the Massachusetts and New Hampshire from the Government of New-York" On which we Observe that had Governour Wentworth been Informed, as We Believe the Truth is, that a North and South Line from the Northwest Corner of Connecticut Colony would have Crossed Hudson's River,some miles Southward or Below the City of Albany, and would Leave that City, and a great part of Hudson's River, To the Eastward of that Line, he could have had no reason for advancing that Presumption, and the rather, had he Been informed, as the fact Is, that the Dutch Settled Albany by the name of ffort Orange and had a ffort and Garrison there about 140 years agoe, Inany years before the Grant to the Councill of Plymouth under which the Massachusetts Bay had their first Claim.

Sthly Governour Wentworth is pleased to Say. "I haye " extended the Western Boundary of New Hampshire as far West "as the Massachusetts Bay have done theirs, that is within "Twenty miles of Hudson's River" On which we Beg Leave to observe that his having done so, after Being informed of the Boundarys of this province by the Minute of Counecill of the 34 of April 1750 before mentioned, and by the Minute of June 5th 1750 that the Massachusetts Settlements Westward of those Boundarys, were made By Intrusion, is very Extraordinary : and we are further of Opinion that the Intrusions of the Massachusetts Bay within this province, Could be no good reason for Governour Wentworth to Committ the Like.
