As I am without any of your Favors, I shall proceed to give you a Relation of such Matters, as have occur’d, for some time before and since Our Election.

The proprietary Party were greatly dispirited before there was an Expectation of a Change in the Ministry. But from the Moment They received that Intelligence, until We got an Account of it’s being perfected, They were in every Part of the Province, declaring, That now you had lost all your Influence and a change of Government would never take place. In short, such was their strange Infatuation, That the Day the News reached us, of the Ministry being changed, The Chief Justice went to the Coffee House and like another Stentor proclaimed to every Man, He met with That the Change of Ministry was One of the most happy Events, in favor of America and That there was not, the least Fear of an Alteration, of our Government; for that the Proprietors, had great Weight and Interest, with the present Ministers.
