68 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS [Jan. 16,.
Both of my colleagues, too, are from the upper counties of
Virginia, and object to visiting the Eastern Shore until the
malarious and equinoctial seasons are over.
We desire to be able to report to the Legislature of this
State at the commencement of the approaching Session, and
will not unnecessarily delay a conference and joint action
with you. When the time and place of meeting for the joint
commission is filed, you shall bo promptly advised.
I think you may expect our appointment, or suggestion
rather, of the time and place, to be at Washington City, or
at Annapolis, sometime about the first week in next month.
Will you please give this intimation to Mr. Jones and Mr.
Waters, your colleagues.
Very truly and respectfully,
Sir, your ob't serv't,
HENRY A. WISE.
In accordance with the above, I received on 20th Septem-
ber, the following letter from my colleague, Gen. Isaac D.
Jones:
BALTIMORE) September 18th, 1871.
To WM. J. AYDELOTT, Esa.,
My Dear Sir—This morning I have a letter from Governor
Wise, proposing a meeting of the Boundary Commissioners
of Virginia and Maryland, at Washington City, on 9th Octo-
ber next. I have replied, that that day will not be convenient,
as two of us have an engagement for that day and several
succeeding—that I would confer and write him again. Somer-
set Court meets on the 9th of October and may last two weeks.
I doubt if we can safely name an earlier day than the 24th
October. I will see Waters on Friday or Saturday next, and
wish you would write to him what time will suit you.
Yours, very truly,
ISAAC D. JONES.
Learning nothing further on the subject, I visited General
Jones, at his office, in Baltimore, during the first week in
October, for conference preparatory to (as I supposed) an
early meeting of the Virginia Commissioners in joint session,
but when reaching his office learned the General was absent
on professional business of the State, and soon after my arri-
val home, T received, from Governor Wise, the following
note:
WASHINGTON CITY, October 10th, 1871.
-Dear Sir—1 have written to Hon. I. D. Jones, that I will
Ie in Crisfield, on Friday next, and hope to meet the Com-
