Additional MSS. 4326 B is one of seven volumes of Birch's personal correspondence and papers that were separated from the rest of the collection and closed to the public for several years. The excerpt copied by the National Archives of Canada, in 1915, is document No. 33 in the volume. It is a letter, 1 September 1755, to Birch from the Reverend Dr. Josiah Tucker (1712-1799), economist and divine, a minor canon of Bristol and chaplain to Bishop Butler, who later became dean of Gloucester. In it, Tucker argues that British North American expansion should not be pressed beyond the Allegheny Mountains.
