commissioners appointed by both States before them
can connect those lines without doing violence to
other parts of the compact we would further remark
that whether those marks north of Walkers general line
were made by Walker are litle to the purpose Walkers
work out to be a strait line extending to the Tennessee
River this would give a uniformity to the boundary
between the two States and tranquility to the people
immediately interested, With this view of the subject
we would respectfully submit the following (viz)
That in your correspondence with the Executive of
Kentucky You permit him by his surveyor or
Surveyors to remark and settle Walkers line from
the Southeast corner of Trigg County to the
Tennessee River, And where no marks can be
found that he shall be governed by the Course of
Said line We believe this would be in strict
Conformity with the expectation of praise worthy
Spirit in which the stipulation was made
We tender those remarks with feelings &
views congenial with that vital self governing
Principle that so eminently adorns our
system of Government
