Early Governors' Papers

8 by the Governor of this State in a few Days

I have only to remark that this Extinguishment of the claim is important to both states; and will be in no wise inconsistent with the attainment of the matter relative to the assent of Congress the Act of this State lately sent you

Perhaps it would be best for you to communicate the subject of this letter to [Alless...?] Anderson Cocks, Rhea and Campbell, so that they may be possessed of every circum= =stance, relative to the present important state of things

I beg that you will write to me by every mail - Two lines and your name at foot
