theinhabitants of a country where he has en'oyed all the benefits arismg
to individuals in a well regulated t'ociety, and experienced the friendship
of many worth) members of it, his utmost wish being to acquitsie the
character of a peaceable and inoffensive citizen.

life; and that the prelent contest may be en ed with honour and advan
tage to the United Coloniee of America. RICHARD HAN SON .
