People have induced us to Address your Excellency on this
Subject but merely Duty to our King and Justice to our
Country. We flatter Ourselves therefore that your Excel-
lency will take the Premisses into Consideration, And as to
Northward his Majesty has Territory enough to accommo-
date them & Millions more, That your Excellency will not
permit them to depart for New Orleans or any other French
Settlement, notwithstanding other Governments have per-
mitted it. Permit us Sir on this Occasion to express our sincere
Regard for you and our hearty wishes for your Health and
Prosperity, and that your Excellency may long continue to
Preside over Us.
