註釋

In a hand-written, 27-page memorial of the Northeast Boundary Commission, inconsistently dated May 19, 1818 (individual documents are all dated 1819), British agent Ward Chipman and American agent William C. Bradley engage in a dispute over maps produced by American surveyor John Johnson; and whether his reliance on local reports of the terrain in the U.S.-Canada bordlands renders the maps ''fictitious,'' in Chipman's terms, or whether such reliance was reasonable and necessary, so long as it is made clear to the commissioners, in Bradley's argument. The final page indicates the board adjourned without coming to a decision on the matter.
