Ordinance of Georgia Reappointing Benjamin Franklin as Agent
AD (copy): American Philosophical Society
[May 10, 1770. The Ordinance appoints Franklin for a year from
June 1, 1770. Except for the difference of dates the wording is
virtually identical with that of the ordinance printed above,
February 27, which renewed the appointment until June 1, 1770. The
same clerks attested the passage of the act through the Commons House
and the Upper House, on May 1-3, 1770, and on May 21 Thomas Moodie
again certified that this was a true copy. The same group of fourteen
men was named as the Assembly’s Committee of Correspondence, except
that John Graham and James Read replaced Lewis Johnson and Clement
Martin. The ordinance was signed as before by Jones, Habersham, and
Wright.]
