My dear Sir,

Mr Ripley is of opinion, that the nomination of Mr Woodward, whom I know to be a worthy candid character, is preferable to that of Mr Chase; as it would greatly promote the cause of the friends of this Country, at Hanover. -- pray give me your opinion, as I propose to proceed on that business soon. How stands the matter, on which we conferred, of a personal [underlined] nature? When do you expect to adjourn? --

Council Chamber 26th June --

Yours very sincerely E Gerry

Major General King
