As it may conduce to the King's service and the welfare of the habitans, to have free access to the Governor, and the opportunity of declaring their intentions in regard to H. M. Govt., P. orders them to choose on May 4th, 1720, O. S., six deputies to act for them, whenever necessary.

Surprised to find that D. had left his parish without leave. The Lieut. Gov. had given him a good character. P.'s treatment of him and of the habitans has certainly given him no cause for apprehension. There is no cause for alarm, as P. intends to treat all with mildness: and, notwithstanding D.'s conduct, P. has a high regard for him, and is ready to meet all reasonable requests.
