Dear Sir
This will be deliverd to you by M^r Palmer who has lived
some years in this town and acquired the esteem of the gen-
tlemen and Ladys by a polite and sensible behavour. He is a
great master of musick plays as well on the Harpsecorcl as any
one I have heard, and if you have any turn that way will enter-
tain you highly.
To-morrow I take my leave of the Province of Pensilvania
and am going to a little farm I have near the sea coast of
Jersey where I promise myself more pleasure or at least less
trouble than I have had in my late Publick station.
Pownal is going home in the next Packet and I imagine has
still a mind for a western government, but had rather hold
one under the crown than under a Prop' This is only my
conjecture and tis not impossible but many difficulties may
have been thrown in the way with a view to that end, as there
cue some connections between him and the leaders here. I
dont learn who is to manage with the Gen^l till his return, but
some body I am told is necessary. Gov^r Denny is Just returned
from Carlisle, but I have not seen him to know whither any
expedⁿ is agreed on against the Indians, my Judgment is
that we should follow the blow given by Armstrong which
would soon make them sick of the warr. I am D^r Sir
Your most faithfull and
Philad Octo^r 14. obed Humble Serv^t
1756. Rob^t H. Morris
