"You will observe, by the King's speech, and the address, what are the sentiments
of this kingdom; yet I can tell you, that if America will but sue for grace she will find his Majesty ready to receive her with all the cordiality she can wish for, and I am more and more persuaded that the servants of the Crown are equally well disposed.
If the resolutions of the Congress are peaceable, and to send deputies home, all will yet end well; for it is impossible that parent and child should long disagree, if they will argue together in sober reason."
