Memorandum written by John Winthrop, circa April 11, 1638.

The beginning of the passage reads:

"My Answere to this Lettre (which I shewed to the Deputy) was to this effect: that before we did any thing we acquainted mr. Hatherly and had men of either parte to sett out the bounds, but they not agreeinge etc., I tould mr. Winslow, and wished there might be some friendly course for setlinge the same, so as might neither strengthen Scituate nor Hingham"
