* The Charter bears date April 23d, 1662, and was probably received in Connecticut early in September. The first public exhibition of it seems to have been made to the Commissioners of the U.

In a letter to the Government of Rhode Island, written during the same Session, the Commissioners say, " We have read and prvsed a Charter of incorporation vnder ye broade seale of England, sent over the last ship, granted to some gentlemen of Conecticut," &c. [Rec. of Comm'rs.] A letter from the General Court of Connecticut to the Commissioners, dated August. 30th, 1662, (in " Miscellanies," i. 89) makes no reference to the Charter, but proposes a special meeting of the Comm'rs, in case " any matters needfull to be considered should, at the return of our Wor. Governor and the agents for the Massachusetts, be presented."
