Scope and content
Signed duplicate of a letter marked "Private" from Chief Justice Sir James Monk at Quebec to the Secretary of State, Henry Dundas (8 pages). It involves a dispute between the Executive Council and Governor Robert Prescott in which Prescott publicly charged the Council with bad motives in delaying a decision on certain land applications. Annexed to this letter is a copy of the Council's proceedings of 20 Sept . 1798 with Prescott's observations (6 pages). The Council insisted on a public record of the distribution of Crown lands and opposed a secret record book as a "novelty."
