We lament with your Honor the death since our last Session, of Mr. Crawford, one of the Provincial Agents in Great Britain, and join in the expression of sympathy with his family, as well as regret for the loss of one who has faithfully served the Province during a period of many years.

We join with your Honor in a humble hope that the Almighty Ruler of the Universe may direct and prosper our consultations, so that all things may be so ordered and settled upon the best and surest foundations.
