We have duly received your favour dated 11 December acknowledgin[g] receipt of our several letters, also of your Account Current and that you found the same free of Error, which we are glad to observe. We are thankfull for your Intention to favour us with an Order if not prevented by the present unhappy situation of Public affairs. We are sorry to say, the prospect of a Speedy accomadation, between Great Britain and the Colonies seems to be at a considerable distance. We most sincerely wish that Matters may yet be amicably compromised, and every cause of difference removed, and setled in so effectual a manner as to prevent the like disagreeable events in future. Towards attaining this desirable end, our Samuel Marsh who is chose a Representative in this new Parliament, will undoubtedly do every thing in his power.
