Nicholson said Proprietors closing the land office hindered settlement
'The Misfortune of this Country at Present,' wrote Nicholson in 1724, 'is the Uncertainty ... whither his Majesty will keep it or the Lords Proprietors be restored, and their Lordships having been Pleased to shutt up their Land Office which hinders people from taking up lands in Order to Settle the Frontiers especially to the Southward which Borders on the Spaniards and French who are now United and we find that they are not only Endeavouring to sett their Indians upon ours but likewise Inveighling them from us.'1[Note 1 c.o]
