Excerpt from Papers Relating to the Colonies on the Delaware, 1614-1682 The dispute at that period between the Proprietaries and the Lord Baltimore concerning the Provincial boundaries was, no doubt, the leading motive in copying such-records bearing on the early occupation of the Delaware by the Dutch. The papers relating to the Swedish settlements were of little account in terminating the controversy, and hence were probably never copied or translated from the Archives of Sweden, which is to be regretted by the historian.
