To The Honble John Wentworth Esq' L' Govr and Com'ander in Chief & ye Honble the Council & Representatives in General Court Assembled

The Humble Memorial of John Hobby Son and Heir of St Charles Hobby

Sheweth

That your Memorialist has by Descent from his sd Father S Charles Hobby a just right to half ye Lands of this Province wch he purchased of Mr Thomas Allen Son and Heir of The Hon'ble Sam Allen Esq'

And now forasmuch as the main & principal parts of it are actually Settled by the Labours and at y great expense of ye blood and treasure of the present Inhabitants Your Memorialist is therefore willing to make them very easy in their possession however they were induced at first to possess themselves wrongfully of them

My business therefore at this present is to move this Hon'ble Court in behalf of the Inhabitants of ys Province to Consult some proper methods whereby ye Inhabitants may be Intirely Contented and at the same time I may not be utterly disinherited and lose my patrimony Among them.

This is an Affair will doubtless be best Compromised in peace both for y safty of our estates and satisfaction of our Consciences and the Issue may be Gods blessing upon our Labours & the security of our persons from his Chastisements by the barbarous Heathen The only thing I can suggest at present as a leading Step to it will be (if this Hon'ble Court think well of it) to have a Com'ittee of some moderate & discreet persons appointed by this Court in behalf of the Inhabitants that we may freely and friendly debate the matter make mutuall offers & proposalls for an Accommodation & when we conclude if the matter be pleasing to ye Inhabitants we shall ratifie them

And I hope this Hon'ble Court will see the persons appointed (if they come into the proposal now made) be men of peace and Moderation willing to administer Justice altho' some temporal damage is suferrd by it for I determine to govern my self by such Advice, and if it be possible to prevent any further Contest & so I rest ys Proposall before your Honour & ys Hon'ble Court &c
