Sir:
Agreeable to your Excellency's desire, I take the liberty of laying the following Proposals before you:
1st. I wou'd prefer this Town for the Establishment of a Printing Office, to any Place I have seen in this Country unless your Excellency should think otherwise.
2ndly. I would propose printing a News-Paper Weekly, by Subscription.
3dly. That as Probably I shall have much Public Business to do, and as Mr. Davis will be concerned with me, I wou'd have the mode of payment for such, for him to Settle with the Assembly, &c.
Lastly. As I would wish to carry on this Business in the most Extensive manner that the Present, or future Times may admit of, and for so doing, it would be Necessary that a sufficient Quantity of Paper, &c., should be Purchased, and as it is inconsistent with my Present Situation to make such Purchase; I would beg leave to Mention to your Excellency that you would be pleased to recommend
it to the Legislature (or any other way that you may think proper) that such Purchase may be Made.
