réf. 392341Unbound. Near Fine. A contemporary probably retained copy of a three-page holographic letter dated October 1721 written by Isaac Bobin private secretary to the Honorable George Clarke who was the Secretary for the Province of New York from 1718 to 1730. The two 8.25" x 12.75" leaves were formerly horizontally folded in quarters and are fragile at the folds with some general toning minor splitting at a few of the folds and a bit of chipping to the extremities not affecting the content of the letter. The letter roughly delineates the boundary between Orange and Ulster Counties in the province of New York by an Act of the Assembly of the Province. In the top right corner of the document is written "duplicate" and on the bottom of the page is written "Justice of Ulster County" presumably making this copy of the letter the one delivered to the officials in Ulster. In the letter Bobin reports that the division line between the two counties will run from the mouth of Murderers Creek westward and into the woods as far as the Delaware River. Owing to the continuing ambiguity of the division and the increasing number of settlers to the region Bobin reports that Secretary Clarke asks that five or more leaders from Ulster meet on November 20 at the Court House of the County of Ulster to decide who will meet with their counterpart from Orange County and other interested parties at the city of New York on the last Tuesday in March to finalize the boundaries of the two counties. This letter is not included in Letters of Isaac Bobin Esq. published by J. Munsell Albany New York 1872. unknown

The state legislator's second book The American Safeguard was principally intended as a manual for politicians particularly the sections on parliamentary practice which were probably targeted at Cox's more indecorous colleagues but also designed to be used in classrooms and as a layman's guide. As was sometimes the case for Cox himself given his Democratic political leanings news of the work's publication received a frosty reception in the local press including the Oregon Sentinel: "Give us the constitution and tell us what the big words mean; but.spare us the marginal notes especially if they are Confederate Currency." The text of the U.S. Constitution featuring the newly ratified Thirteenth Amendment is indeed accompanied by an "analytical index" and a series of "political definitions." But Cox surprised audiences with the work's "Treatise upon the Government and History of the United States" and "Manual of Political Economy" both of which contradicted Democratic orthodoxies on slavery and protective tariffs. "We must congratulate Mr. Cox on the breadth of his views and the justness of his sentiments" writes a contemporary reviewer in the Portland Oregonian.
