No Binding. Condition: Good. Settling the Canadian-American boundary dispute in the "wilds" of Maine - 1798. Folio, 3 pages, plus stamp-less address leaf, formerly folded, minor browning, and soiling to address leaf, else very good, legible condition. Upton writes his father: "Honored Sir, ? I wish you & all a happy new year - I shall have as happy a one I presume s I ever saw (if sickness does not prevent) for business is very brisk here, comparing it with what we hear from the westward - I have, as I informed you, the Academy - with which the Trustees appear perfectly satisfied, as well as the People. I have besides considerable writing to do for others which turns to some advantage. But surveying Land bids fair to be of great advantage to me as there is a great deal to survey in a new country like this - and only one person here that understands it, besides myself & he is superannuated. I did not perfectly understand it when I first came here, but have paid such attention to it that I am perfectly acquainted with it & can measure the most difficult piece of Land with accuracy & dispatch. I have four dollars a day for surveying. I have surveyed but two days as yet, the People not knowing that I could accomplish the business. The two days I surveyed I laid out a very difficult piece of wild Land of one hundred acres the Plan happened to be very accurate, which has been of great advantage to me - for the man for whom the survey was made is friendly & told the people that I did it with the greatest expedition & with accuracy (which I have the vanity to say is the case) By which means they have employed me to do considerable in the Spring for them. But I have been unfortunate in losing a piece of Business which would have been of the greatest advantage to me - it was this - The Boundary line between the United States and his Britannic Majesty is not settled, four surveyors were appointed to survey the Rivers Soodiac [Schoodic] and Magaguadavie [Magaguadavic], which employed them all six months - they have five Dollars per day each? which amounted to between 11 & 12 hundred Dollars per Mo - they began their survey about 8 weeks before I arrived here (one of them was very unwilling to go, being unwell) - had I been here I should have been one of them, as Mr. Bruce & Judge Jones now tell me, they had power to appoint them & had to send to the westward for three of them. However there are several new Towns to lay out here, & I have the promise of doing that whenever it is done - which will be of considerable advantage to me. (if it happens while I tarry here) Perhaps you have heard of the dispute respecting the River Magaguadavie's being the St. Croix, which (St. Croix) was to be the Boundary line between us, & the British. We wish to have the Magaguadavie the St. Croix, the British wish to have the River Schoodiac the St. Croix, for they will then take in several thousand acres of land more than if ye Magdie was the t St. Croix. I am perfectly acquainted with the business, having seen & copied all the Depositions of both sides - I suppose you, Sir, have an inclination to know how i[t] will turn, (which makes me write this) but 't[is im-] possible for me to tell. I think however that the line will finally run between the Rivers. I wish, Sir, you would let no one see this, for I don't like to tell my situation when unfortunate, nor boast of it when prosperous but you may depend upon it I am doing well ?" Daniel Upton was23 when he wrote this letter from the "wilds" of the future state of Maine to his family in Massachusetts. He had gone north after graduating from Harvard to become instructor at Washington Academy, a newly established private school in Machias, for which he was paid $ 100 a year. Meanwhile, he was studying law under the tutelage of Phineas Bruce, the only attorney in the County, at the same time courting Bruce's daughter Hannah, whom he married after he w.
