Joseph Sherwood’s respects to Benjn. Franklyn Esqr., Sherwood has applied to the Plantation, and Secretary of States Office (where the Patents &c. are Recorded) both of whom Absolutely refuse to give Copies, being as they say totally unusual and Extra Official; Sherwood has Perused and Considered the Papers very Attentively, and from his own Ideas of the Case Apprehends, there is very little Foundation to Support the Claim of Registrar &c. in Opposition to the Grant of the Crown; But will call on B Franklyn Esqr. the first opportunity.
