1st:  Granted. 2d.  Granted. 3d.  This will never be granted: therefore the Colonies must enter into Compact, that the Acts of Navigation, which have been already passed in Great Britain and such other Acts as may hereafter pass for regulating Trade only, shall be binding on them and their heirs &c. And if the 6th. Article is obtained I see no Objection to No. 3 being yeilded. 4th.  Already so. 5th:  Some little Relaxation may perhaps be obtained, such as exporting, or perhaps only removing Hatts from one Colony to the other and that probably not to be obtained as it will be consider’d that it must affect British Manufactures. Qr. [Query] if ought to [be], insisted on. 6th.  If granted, will remove many difficulties about regulations of Trade, interfering with Ideas of Taxation. 7th.  Will not be easily obtained, as curtailing the power of the Crown and reducing the Minister’s Levy and consequently his Influence in Parliament. 8th.  Qr. [Query] as the Dignity of Great Britain must be preserved; Whether if No: 2. 11. 12. 13. 14 could be obtained, it may not be prudent for the Colonies to consent to raise annually on Requisition made by the King by consent of Parliament, a certain proportion (however small) of their last provincial Tax equal to [suppose    thereoff] when Britain pays 3s. in the pound to its land Tax. This Concession will so much please the greatest part of the Nation, as to enduce them to yeild more substantial Benefits, in particular No. 6. 9th.  Granted. 10th:  Granted [Deleted: Not likely to be obtained, except quartering.] 11th:  Granted [Deleted: or to be paid for by Great Britain.] 12th.  Granted. 13.  Granted. 14th.  Acts relative to Admiraltry Courts to be reenacted in America. Will never be granted and indeed unnecessary if a Compact should be enter’d into. 15.  Granted. 16.  Granted. 17.  The Declaritory Act to be repealed, or explained so, as to be understood not to extend to Taxation but for Regulation of Trade which is to be paid into the Treasuries of the Colonies. By the above Plan those other Grievances hung up in the petition to the King will be (I conceive) removed and Harmony establish’d on a permanent foundation.
