Should it be necessary in the opinion of any that I ought to be sooner I would do it. but three can do the little business usually done at the November Court in this County. and before another Court I will be quallified should I be appointed.

Since I have been in this Town altho the people have always given me their suffrages when they were asked for any Office I ever set up for but never having set myself up for a Representative I have never had that notice from the Executive of Massachusetts that has been paid Col Pond or Col Lee. tho I have been longer in Town than either of them.

Humble Servant
