Correspondence of Governor Sharpe. 317

by a Letter I have transmitted to M^r Hamersley to be laid
before your Ldp that Messr^s Mason & Dixon the two Sur-
veyors had on the 10^th of last Month extended their Line so
far as the Allegany Mountain which begins a few Miles to the
Westward of Fort Cumberland & that they are now clearing
& laying out the Visto that is to be the true Northern
Boundary of this Province: When the Commissioners meet

the 30th Inst according to their last Adjournment They will

take into Consideration what M^r Hamersley writes to Me
of your Ldp's' Desire that the Line should be continued to the
Westernmost Limits of Pennsylvania, but I question whether
they will not be apprehensive that such a Step at this time
might give Umbrage to the Indians that come to hunt on
that Mountain. Tranquillity & good Order being now re-
established here & Nothing of a publick Nature worthy your
Ldps Notice having happen'd in this province since I last did
myself the honour to address a Letter to your Ldp I have
nothing now to add but- that I remain with the utmost
Respect My Ld &c.
