Unsigned, but handwriting suggests the author is Henry Knox. Knox writes to the Committee, which includes Leonard Jarvis, Samuel Phillips, Daniel Correy, John Read [Knox spells it "Reed"], and Nathaniel Wells. Seems to be writing on behalf of the heirs and executors of the Waldo patent. Discusses the northern boundaries of the patent, and asks that the Committee submit their concerns to the General Court.
