{"value"=>"The guardians of the proprietor of Maryland have refused to sign the return of the [boundary] commissioners, because, as he supposes, they think such an act improper without the especial direction of the Lord Chancellor given after the matter should have been brought before him in court; Eden cannot therefore take upon himself a power that they have declined; he deprecates the issuing of an ex parte proclamation by Pennsylvania; he leaves for England in a few days, and will lay Penn's letters before the guardians; in the meantime no steps will be taken here to indicate a concurrence in Penn's proposed measure."}
