References Taylor's letter of 7 March (see GLC02437.05845). Tells Taylor that his claim on 1/5 of the township of Frankfort in Maine owned by Thomas Goldthwait is "utterly unfounded either in law or equity." Says the original grant was never secured and is therefore null and void. Claims to be in possession of proof.
