An important phase of settlement of this period is concerned with 

 the formation of the Acadian settlements at Madawaska, which have been 

 fully discussed in the Settlements Monograph. Happily the early extent 

 and location of that settlement is well shown upon Sproule's ]\Iap of the 

 St. John, of 1787, and the Madawaska portion is reproduced herewith 

 (Map No. 39).

No. 76. Dr. Raymond tells me that DeLancey's 1st and 2nd Bat- 

 talions were merged together as the 1st and settled at Woodstock, 

 while the 2nd settled in Queens County, though lands were assigned 

 them in York. 



Map No. 39. From Sproule's Map of 1787 ; x J. 



346. Much additional information upon the telegraph system from 

 Halifax to Fredericton is found in letters in the Winslow papers, 

 (consult Index), where it is shown that the line was to run by way of 

 Sussex, that nine stations were sielected between St. John and Frederic- 

 ton, that others were to be estal)lished at Musquash, Lepreau and the 

 South AVolf, and that the whole plan was abandoned at an early stage 

 because of the expense and the lack of sufficient troops to work the 

 sysitem.
