William King Esq Governor of the State of Maine
Sir Permit me to acquaint you that I have just returned home and that on my return I am informed that as soon as I left home in December last for Portland that there was four men and three yoke of oxen from the English side of the river that set out upon loging [sic] of the Indian Township and have loged [sic] there all winter till after our March Count at Machias then they new [sic] I would be home there fore few [one struck through] [??] by their teams they left of [sic] loging and returned home --
The loges they have hauled are now laying in the stream in the Indian Township, and nothing is now left but to take the loges and sell them before the river breaks up so that they cant get them away This I shall do agreeable to your directions that you give me when we last talked on this subject at Portland and that Mr. Vose (since his return) has reported to these lumber thieves and others that the governor had displaced [?] me and appointed another agent at Eastport for the Indians there for that they had nothing to send --
When it shall be your pleasure thus to appoint another agent and I am so directed by your Excellency it will be my duty to obey your direction in that respect as well as it is now in doing my duty in detering [?] those thieves and trespassers -- now sir you may depend I shall go and take all the loges I find cut and felled on the Indian Township and sell them as you directed me and if [?] you are prepared to direct and authorised to do - and this I think you will not do as this is the only method [?] left which will effectually put a stop to those trespassers and this might all be done before the river breaks up and those English thieves will git all those loges away - I neither fear or care [?]
