of his Family being in great Distress on the occasion proposed
an Adjournment, the other would not proceed but in lunction
with him; thereupon the Commissioners on both sides parted,
of which the Commissioners of Pensilvania wrote word to their
Governor, who sent them another Commissioner and they pro-
ceeded Exparte & continued the West Line so run to the
mark'd Hickery Tree of the West of Susquehannah & extend-
ing it about 80 Miles towards the Meridian of the Fountain of
Potomack.
Now the Remark is, whether the Additional Line run Ex-
parte by them from the Hickery Tree West of Susquehannah,
is a true fair Line according to His Majesty's order of Council,
and the Propositions therein contained & agreed by the Pro-
prietors by Consent of His Majesty, with the Advice of His
Privy Council, to approve of the said Agreement between the
Proprietors of the respective Provinces of Maryland & Pensil-
vania, thereby" ordered to be carried into Execution, whereof
the said Proprietors &c. are to take notice & Govern them-
selves accordingly.
His Lordship informs me to acquaint you, that he desires &
requires of you without Loss of time to make Authentick
Return to him of the Commissioners of Maryland's Report for
the Run of the Temporary Line how far they proceeded with
the Pensilvania Commissioners in pursuance of His Majesty's
order of Council of the 25^th of May 1738, also of the Additional
Line Exparte run by the Commissioners of Pensilvania; and
that you will, in Case not truely laid down, take measures to
adjust the same with Pensilvania, so far as the Peace of Gov-
ernment shall make it necessary, and in Obedience to His
Majesty's order of Council for that purpose.
I am with the greatest Respect
Your truly obedient Servant
