Proposes a union between New Hampshire and the "New Hampshire Grants" (what became Vermont). "I should be unhappy if the division between the county of Grafton and this state should prevent the said grants from becoming a part of said state, and if the strength & influence of your county was joined to this, I think claim might be laid to said grants. . . . It is my opinion that a union with the grants would be equally advantageous to them and us." He proposes taking the matter to the Continental Congress.
