Summary
Saying he has little to add to copies of three previous letters which precede this one except to request some magazines for the Library Company; adding "Our Assembly have unanimously voted sending me to England to endeavour a Settlement of our Disputes; I have not determin'd yet to go, as they gave me done Days to consider of it. It will be a good Work, whoever does it; for the Province at present is very unhappy."
