<London, January 18, 1779: Dr. Price returns thanks for the
invitation from Congress to become a member of the United
States and assist them in regulating their finances. Honored
as he is at their favorable opinion of him, he knows himself
not qualified, and is at such an advanced age that he cannot
move from a country to which he has been so long connected.
He requests his reply be transmitted to Congress and looks to
the American states as the hope and future refuge of mankind.>
