Maryland Potomac fishing rights clash over compact dispute
The letter defends Maryland and Virginia fishing rights on the Potomac, cites the 1785 1786 compact, argues for ancient customary fishing as a legal right, and criticizes Maryland enforcement seen in Hagerstown and Allegany County. It links this to Magna Charta and historic resistance to state control.
