http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/38969946

Contemporary copy of the journal of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, July 23-Aug. 7, 1740, which the House ordered to be copied, authenticated with the provincial seal by Gov. Belcher, and sent to John Thomlinson, the province's agent in London. The legislature wished to inform the Court of its compliance with instructions to supply a company of men for the West Indian expedition, to protest Gov. Belcher's lack of partiality in the Massachusetts-New Hampshire boundary dispute, and to request that New Hampshire be provided a separate governor from that of Massachusetts Bay.
