Mother Country and her Colonies must be inseparable, and that we
shall obtain Relief.
The several Committees agreed to recommend it to their respective
Colonies, to appoint Special Agents on this Occasion, and to instruct
them to unite their utmost Interest and Endeavours for that Pur-
pose. One Address, &c. was transmitted by the Gentlemen of the
Massachusetts Government, immediately to their Agent (Mr. Jack-
son we understood) and we expect the other Colonies will have
Duplicates sent to their Agents, and we hope will all unite in Ex-
pence and Instructions, to have able Counsel before both the Lords
and Commons, as our Petitions pray.
We were intrusted with the Disposition of some Money upon this
Occasion, and inclose you a Bill of Exchange, on Messrs. Capel and
Osgood Hanbury, for One Hundred and Fifty Pounds Sterling, as
a Compensation for your Trouble and Expence in this Affair. We
doubt not our Assembly will approve of what we do in this Matter;
and as they are to meet the last of this Month, we shall lay our
Proceedings before them, and 'tis probable they will write you more
fully, and furnish you with such further Instructions and Arguments,
as may appear to them to be proper to be given and urged on this
Occasion, in Behalf of the Colonies.
We are,
Your most obedient Servants,
[Edward Tilghman]
[William Murdoch]
[Thomas Ringgold]
