Nova Scotia House of Assembly Petitions and Correspondence

16 December 1807

Two drafts of the Assembly’s address to Vice-Admiral Berkeley. Compare with the final address, (Assembly Journal 1807-1808, p. 14), to see modification of statements. The House wish to acknowledge the "Benefits received from your Protection of its Trade, your great Attention to the Promotion of its maritime Interests, and the uncommon regard you have ever manifested for the Liberties of the Subject and the Individual Wellfare of the People of this Country who will long retain a grateful sense of your Conduct in these Particulars." They hope that the King will approve his conduct in every particular. (Second draft as RG1 volume 303 number 89).
