Author Description

Excerpt from Message of the Governor of Maine, With Accompanying Documents, on the Subject of the Northeastern Boundary of the State The Adjutant General having made a communication to me in reference to our military defences, in order to enforce our claims to protection, and in furtherance of the objects of the resolve, I addressed a letter to the Secretary of War, under date of April 5th, 1838, enclosing a copy of the Adjutant Gen eral's communication and urging the importance of prompt con sideration. The result of the application was the designation of Brig. Gen. Wool, of the Army, to make a reconnoisance and to report a plan ofdefence. This duty was performed by that officer, with promptitude and fidelity. A copy of his re port, made to the Executive of this State, and also copies of other documents upon this subject, are herewith submitted. I have received no other information of any action by the Gen eral Government on the subject, although I had strong hopes that at least some additional posts would have been established before the present time. The documents communicated will exhibit the grounds of the request and the details of the pro gress and present state of this matter.
