Untill the receipt of your last Letter it was perfectly
unknown to me that taxes had been assessed or levied by the
Commissioners &c of the County of York on any of the Inhab-
itants, by the Royal Order made Subject to your Jurisdiction,
and in order to prevent any thing of that kind hereafter I
immediately dispatched Orders to discontinue all Proceedings
thereupon if any such had been made being desirous to the
utmost of my Power to avoid all Occasions of Contention upon
these Points and to Maintain Peace and good Neighbourhood
between the two Provinces agreeable to his Majestys Royal
Intentions. I am with great Regard
