This day the congress broke up, the papers are not all got ready, but will be sent to you by the next opportunity. As a vessel sails to Morrow Morning early I am ordered to forward to you the petition to the King.

I have the pleasure to inform you that at the last session of Assembly you are continued Agent for this province, of which you will no doubt receive a proper certificate.

Mr. Cushing tells me he has sent you a copy of some of the proceedings which are printed.

Lest the resolve referred to in the enclosed letter should not be contained in that publication I enclose you a certifyed copy. I am sir Your humble Servant

Cha Thomson
