The celebration of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of Woburn, which is to be held on, October 7, is an event of such interest that I would have been glad to accept the invitation of the committee to participate in the exercises which your citizens have planned.
We may not only hope for, but expect highly beneficial results from this conference, which will now soon assemble.
It has not seemed to me that this was a case in which we could yield to the suggestion of further concessions on the part of the United States with a view to securing treaty rights for which a consideration has already been given.
Warning is hereby expressly given to all persons not to enter or make settlement upon the tract of land reserved by this proclamation.
