I found myself in the most closely settled district I have seen iv the Colony. I saw wellbuilt houses, well fenced and well watered fields and I observe that in a few more years your lands will be entirely cleared and fit for any sort of tillage. I ; sincerely trust that the energy and skill 1 which have been manifested since the foundation of the settlement will receive their due reward, and that your Borough and its neighborhood will in the future i enjoy the prosperity it deserves.
