The Managers of the Pennsylvania Hospital beg leave to testify the Share they take in the general Joy on his Accession to the Government of this Province.

Thro’ the Favour of the Government, the Contributors to our Hospital were incorporated by Law, and vested with the Powers and Privileges necessary for the well ordering, as well as increasing this extensive Charity. The Institution has ever since flourished, and we have the great Satisfaction to find, that our Care and diligent Endeavours to relieve the Misery and heal the Diseases, of the Poor, have been blessed with much Success and that our Power of doing Good, is, by the Benefactions of well disposed Persons, daily increasing.

While this right Use continues to be made of the Privileges granted us, we hope our Corporation will be favoured with the Governor’s Countenance and Protection; and we request he would accept of our sincerest Wishes for his Health, Happiness and successful Administration.

Signed, by Order of the Board of Managers
