Revd Sir [to the Secretary]
The assembly of this Province sat here September last, and by some discoverys made me of the secret springs of their actions, I soon perceived
that nothing was to be done for the proper encouragemt of an established ministry among them. Some pretend they want to chuse for themselves and will by no means have my Lord of London interpose in filling up the vacancys; others complain of their poverty and truly indeed because of the indolence of the generality of the Inhabitants.
