1872.] OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES. 71
when reaching home at night, received by mail, from Gov.
Wise, the following note:
CRISFIELD, MD., October 21, 1871.
WM. J. AYDELOTT, ESQ.,
Dear Sir—Mr. Cutts, of the Coast Survey, arrived this
morning, without any detail or instruments for survey, and
Captain Brown, of the steamer Tredegar, has not, up to this
hour, 1 o'clock, P. M., arrived. After conference and con-
sultation with Mr. Cutts, the Commissioners of Virginia
have concluded to return home, as there is no opportunity,
at present, at least, of having a meeting with the Maryland
Commissioners.
We do not, of course, propose now to run the line, as understood when you departed from us. You will please com-
municate this result of our attempt to confer and act with
the Maryland Commissioners, to your colleagues. Any com-
munication from them will reach me at Richmond, Virginia.
Yours, very respectfully and truly,
HENRY A. WISE.

to me from Richmond, and did not reach me until last even-
ing. I regretted very much, and still regret, that the Vir-
ginia Commissioners could not meet their appointment with
you on the Pocomoke.
After seeing Mr. Cutts, my colleagues concluded it was
impossible to make a proper survey this Fall, and that they
had sufficient data on which to report. I am sure that you
and I, if left to ourselves, could agree ; but now, as it is, I
don't feel authorized to act alone, and, I presume the Superior Court of the United States will have to settle the matter,
unless Virginia and Maryland continue the Commissions,.
and they can act next Spring.
With thanks for your efforts this Fall,
I am, very truly, your friend,
HENRY A. WISB.
Win. J. Aydelott, Esq.
From the above correspondence, it will he seen, that after
great labor to effect a successful and satisfactory adjustment
of our State boundary difficulties, all work by the Joint Com-
