No 13.
My Lord I have the honour to enclose to your Lordship, the account of produce exported from this province, by the Betsey Captain Lofthouse . . .
There can be no doubt of the success of this province. The articles suitable to the climate and soil, are of the most valuable sort. They are such as may be of the greatest advantage to England. We only want inhabitants, my Lord, and a little industry.
I have the honour to be with the greatest respect &c.
