As I have some fears that the British Janus does not intend fair by the Kingdom of Ireland in the expected or depending Treaty of Peace, I hope your Excellency will pardon my Zeal for my Country, by my most Earnestly entreating to Know, if Ireland is (as it ought of Right to be) particularily mentioned; if it be not, and peace should be finaly concluded, my fears Induce me? to think that our Trade and Commerce may suffer considerable and lasting Injuries.

I have wrote a public Letter to the Men of Ireland advising them to demand of their King, that their Kingdom be particuliarily mentioned and acknowledged by all the Belligerent Powers, bu I have delayed sending it untill I have the honor of your answer, which I mean to use with the most confidential Respect and mention my authority. My Letter is intended to be published in Every paper in Ireland, and it will finaly finish the sensibles.

All this Family join me in sincerest respects [to] you and best regards to your Grandson. I have the Honor to be, with Every sentiment of respect your Excellencys most obedient and most obliged Humble Servant
