Draft of Instructions to the Virginia Delegates in the Continental Congress (MS Text of A Summary View, &c.), [July 1774]

“In A this note reads as follows: “1632 Maryland was granted to lord Baltimore, 14. c. 2. [an error; see TJ’s correction in B, below] Pennsylvania to Penn, and the province of Carolina was in the year 1663 granted by letters patent of majesty, king Charles II. in the 15th year of his reign, in propriety, unto the right honourable Edward earl of Clarendon, George duke of Albemarle, William earl of Craven, John lord Berkeley, Anthony lord Ashley, sir George Carteret, sir John Coleton, knight and boronet, and sir William Berkley, knight; by which letters patent the laws of England were to be in force in Carolina: But the lords proprietors had power, with the consent of the inhabitants, to make bye-laws for the better government of the said province; so that no money could be received, or law made, without the consent of the inhabitants, or their representatives.” In B this footnote was rewritten to read: “In 1621. Nova Scotia was granted by James I. to Sir Wm. Alexander. In 1632. Maryland was granted by Charles I. to Lord Baltimore. In 1664. New York was granted by Charles II. to D. of York: so also was New Jersey, which the D. of York conveied again to Ld. Berkeley & Sr. Geo. Carteret. So also were the Delaware counties, which the same Duke conveied again to Wm. Penn. In 1665. the country including North & South Carolina, Georgia & the Floridas was granted by Charles II. to the E. of Clarendon, D. of Albemarle, E. of Craven, Ld. Berkeley, Ld. Ashley, Sr. George Carteret, Sr. John Coleton, & Sr. Wm. Berkely. In 161. Pennsylvania was granted by Charles II. to Wm. Penn.”
