        I received with great Pleasure the Address you transmitted to me, & my Colleague & myself have taken care that it shall be presented to his Majesty thro’ the hands of the Secretary of State.  I have no doubt, but that this Expression of the Loyal Congratulations of the Dissenting Ministers in the County I have the Honor to represent, will be most graciously received by his Majesty.

                        Your most obliged

                                humble Svt
