for the raising Mony so that it will be quite fruitless to call
them together for that purpose; and therefore I think the
best Method that can be taken by the Government as Matters
are circumstanced is to dissolve them and call a new Set of
Men who may probably think different from the present
Gentlemen. Indeed I cannot conceive from the Offence the
Conduct of this House in many Instances has given the
people, but many of them will be left out, and if they are
not the Governor will be justified in having done all in his
power for the Alteration of such obstinate Measures which
seem calculated rather to gratify Prejudice & Resentment
than to forward the real Service and genuine Interest of the
Country. I really think that this Measure ought to have been
taken the last Spring, but hope it may not be too late now.
I am with much Respect
Sir your most obedient humble Servant
To the honourable Wm Goldsborough
