Abstract
Description
This manuscript (circa 1719) is principally concerned with the problem of the French who remained in the province after its cession to England at the Treaty of Utrecht. A considerable amount of space is also occupied in setting forth the natural advantages of Nova Scotia, as an inducement to the authorities in England to take action. (From typed note accompanying letter.)
