His Honour' s Answer.

"To the Gentlemen of the Provincial Congress of the MASSACHUSETTS:

"GENTLEMEN: Nothing can be so flattering to me as the good opinion and approbation of the Delegates of a free and uncorrupt people, I was educated in the highest reverence for the rights of mankind, and have acquired, by a long acquaintance, a most particular regard for the people of America.

"You may depend, therefore, gentlemen, on my zeal and integrity. I can promise you nothing from my abilities. God Almighty grant us success equal to the righteousness of the cause.

"I thank you, gentlemen, for an address which does me so much honour, and shall labour to deserve it."
