May it please your Royal Highnesses,
THE Corporation of the Loyal City of Bath, truly sensible how auspicious the Birth of His Majesty was to this Nation, presume to wait on your Royal Highnesses, to bid you Joy on that Occasion.
A Birth, to which we owe the Continuance of those invaluable Blessings, which our successful Struggles for Liberty have procur'd us in that glorious Act of Succession: A Birth, to which we are indebted, Sir, for your Royal Person, in whose Presence we enjoy all possible Happiness. More we could say, but Words have not Power to express the Joy we feel; but we hope the Actions and Behaviour of every Member of this Corporation and City, will convince his Majesty and your Royal Highnesses, that we commemorate this Day with exceeding great Joy.
His Royal Highness's Answer.
Gentlemen,
NOTHING can add more to my Satisfaction, in the Regard you have shewn to me and the Princess, than your Expression of Duty and Affection to the King upon this Occasion, for which I return you my Thanks.
