I must herein be denyed the satisfaction of Executing yonr Excellency's request in these matters, it gives me great pleasure to hear that there hath not been any Disturbances on the Banks of the Connecticut River, where the Inhabitants of New York have daily Intercourse with those of this Government ; but on the contrary, That the reported Evils are confin'd to a small District remote from our boun--- dary Line, & more immediately connected with Hudson's River, & the Colony's of Connecticut & Massa-bay, from whence they originally migrated.

It is beyond a doubt that violence & illegal Opposition to Government is the aversion of this province from their exemplary Conduct, especially for five years past. Evry contrary. assurance or pretence must be groundless & proceed from artful wicked men, injurious to the Interest & diametrically opposite to the public & private opinion and Desire of this Province.

Iam extremely obliged, & will embrace the first Opporty, that the public Service will permit, to avail myself of the honor your Excellency does me in an Invitation to New York; & shall receive very great satisfaction if at any time I may haw the pleasure of your company at Portsmouth - being with the greatest Truth & regard. Sir

Your Excellency's most obedient humble Servant

J. WENTWORTH. His Excellency Governor Tryon.
