Bui I think it possible you may expect me to state to you my views on some of the most important measures that are likely to be legislated upon. Now, lam not prepared to do this; not because I am unwilling to communicate my sentiments to you, but because I confess I have not yet given these subjects that attention which there importance requires, and I might mislead yon by giving you opinions which, on more mature consideration, I might materially alter. But if, with this explanation, you still wish to put me in nomination (or the House of Representatives—though feeling myself in many respects unsnited to fill this high and important office—l assent to your Requisition, and I can promise yon that I will zealously and conscicnliously apply myself to the fulfilment of its various duties. From an intimate acquaintance with your circumstances, and with a hearty desire for your welfare. I shall be able to protect your interests; and I trust that, with independence and integrity, I should enter into the consideration of all measures intended for the advancement and prosperity of the Colony. 1 remain, Your sincere friend, T.
