In July 1750, Mt Wentworth's Letter of the 224 June preceeding was laid before the Council, declaring that his Majesty's Council of that Province were unanimously of opinion not to commence a Dispute with this Government respecting the Extent of Western Boundary to New Hampshire, until his Majesty's pleasure should be further known, and accordingly the Council had advised that he should on the part of New Hampshire, make a Representation of the Matter to his Majesty, relying that Mt Clinton would do the same on the part of New York To which proposal this Government agreed ; adding that it would be a Measure for the Mutual advantage of both Provinces, that the Copies of the respective Representations to be made to his Majesty on this Head should be exchanged.

On the 24 September M: Wentworth signifyed the Assent of his Government to the last mentioned proposal, as it might contribute to the Speedy Settlement of the Boundary between the two Provinces and assured Mr Clinton that he would Transmit to him a Copy of the Representation he should make in behalf of New Hampshire as soon as perfected.

I find the Representation on the part of New York was not approved of by the Council until the 18 of October 1751, when it was entered on the Minutes together with a letter of mine on the same Subject, But before this period Mt Wentworth had in his letter to the Board of Trade of the 234 March 1750|1 suggested to their Lordships what he thought proper to urge on this Subject in behalf of his own Government, without Transmitting any Copy thereof, to Governor Clinton.
