Please to accept my sincere congratulations for the restoration
of Peace and the Natural rights of Mankind, in America.
That all the Provinces msy be Settled and Governed by Laws
calculated for the Mutual benefit of every individual is the
Ardent wish of Sir Your Most Obedient Servant
Pray did the things contained in the bottom of the Clock-Case come
safe to hand?
Seeing some blank paper here, I make a siezure of it to tell you
that long as you may think my letter, I did great violence to
myself in not making it longer. Impute it to the habits in which I
have been bred, that I cannot prevail on myself to part with this
paper without observing that when we leave providence out of the
consideration, we see only the dark side of History. God bless you
and preserve you.
