To-morrow Morning I must wait upon your Honour, for an Answer to the Lords Proprs of Carolina's Meml I've been the means (under the Direction of my Lord Westmoreland) of bringing, in a great measure, the Contract to bear so far; and will do every thing, an honest man can do, to Mollify the Proprs But indeed they think themselves ill used. I was the first that set the Notion on foot for obstructing the Spanish Plate Fleet in the Gulf of Florida, and the Drafts I have are the only ones to be depended on I will bring them along with me to shew them yr Honour. I drew up the reasons justify the Prudence of the Ministers in purchasing the country as Mr Henry Pelham and 14 more of the House of Commons know, a copy of wch I will present your Honour with. I would willingly in this Affair unite Zeal for the Publick Interest and Fidelity to my Principaly. I am with the greatest respect.
