The public Papers inform me some Proceedings have lately been had in the House of Assembly of Pennsylvania relative to the recommendatory Resolve of Congress to the different States to repeal all Laws inconsistent with the Treaty of Peace.

I conceive, Sir, with great Deference, this may be a fit Season to make some few Representations upon some Point which rather press upon the Interests of the subjects of Great Britain; and shall think myself extremely honor’d in an Opportunity of suggesting to your Excellency, or to the honorable Council, certain matters which appear to me to be worthy of Notice.

The very favorable Disposition manifested by the Government of Pennsylvania, and by your Excellency, to improve every Object of national Justice, and to restore the commercial Intercourse with foreign Countries to its former State of Reputation and Security, induces me to hope every well founded Suggestion will be candidly received, and every just Ground of Exception speedily reformed. With Sentiments of the most profound Respect, I have the Honor to be your Excellency’s most faithful and most obedient Servant,
