James Wright to the Board of Trade, Aug. 15, 1767, Savannah, received Oct. 26, read Dec. 15, 1767, C.O. 5/650, G. 2, relative to Georgia’s military defences.

My Lords

I think it my duty to acquaint your Lordships That there is at this time only 21 Private Men belonging to His Majesties Royal American Regiment in this Province, Vizt. 14 at Fort Augusta about 150 Miles by Land from hence, & 7 at Frederica an Island on the Sea Coast about 105 Miles from hence to the Southward, and that these are the whole Troops of every kind that are now in this Province, or have been Since the Rangers were disbanded, which agreeable to His Majesties Orders was done on the 31 of March last. Augusta my Lords Appears to me to be a Place of Some Consequence and I Consider it as a kind of Frontier Town or Settlements. It is a Receptacle for Goods of Considerable Value for the Indian Trade, and the General Resort of Indians themselves, & in the Neighbourhood of a Set of almost Lawless White People who are Sort of Borderers, and often as bad if not worse than the Indians. The Indian Boundary that way my Lords is a River Called Little River and Runs out of Sav. River about 20 Miles above Augusta & so Slant’s upwards into the Country, as your Lordships will See by the Treaty I Transmitted in March 1764.

Frederica my Lords is a Place now in time of Peace, of no Consequence, but as there are yet Remaining Some good Works I Presume it ought not to be intirely Abandoned, or they will Soon go totally to Ruin.

My Situation my Lords is Rather hard & difficult, not a Soldier more than I have mentioned, either to Protect the Province against Indians, or Negro Insurrections, or even to be the least Check on the Licentiousness of the People, or Command Respect to His Majesties Authority. And I must not omit to Inform your Lordships That Fort George on Cockspur Island which is Situated at the Entrance of this River, and is the key to our Province, as it Commands Obedience to the British Laws of Trade, & to Many of our Essential Provincial Laws, is, now garrisoned & has been, for Some time at my Expence. It used to be Garrisoned by an Officer of the Rangers & 20 Men, and its now garrisoned by a Captain of my appointing, & ten Men, Just as a Make shift till I Could know whether General Gage Would Garrison it with any of His Majesties Troops. And I shall now Continue it till the assembly meets in Nov. the Expence of which I pay out of my Pocket & is £30 Sterl per Month. But on the Meeting of the assembly, if they do not Provide for it, I must then withdraw the Command, & the Province will be left intirely open. The assembly declined Providing for this Expence in March last as your Lordships will See by my Letter & the Papers I had the Honor to Transmit on the 6th of April last. I well knew my Lords that it would be improper to Trouble your Lordships on this Head till I had first applied to General Gage the commander in Chief of His Majesties Forces in North America, and wch I did Immediately on the Rangers being disbanded. And that your Lordships may Clearly See what Steps I have taken on this Occasion in America, and how the Matter Rests at Present, I herewith Transmit Copys & Extracts of all the Letters that have Passed on the Subject.⁴⁷ This I Look upon as my Indispensable duty, that let what Consequences may happen, I may not be Chargeable with any Neglect on my Part. All wch is Humbly Submitted to your Lordships Consideration.

P.S. I have wrote to the Earl of Shelburne to the Same Effect.

James Wright to the Board of Trade, Aug. 25, 1767, Savannah, received and read Dec. 15, 1767, C.O. 5/650, G. 3, relative to the silk culture.

My Lords

By This Opportunity the Silk of the Produce of this year is Ship’t Quantity 671 lb. & 9 oz. The Reason of its being so much less this year than the last is because None of the Cocoons were brought to this Filature from Purysburgh, from whence we had 5551 lb. the last year. But this year Some Public Spirited Gentl. gave the People at their own Houses the Same Price they would have got if they had brought it here Vizt 18 d per lb. & were at the Expence of Baking them at Purysburgh & Carrying ‘em to Charles Town to be Reeled off. Another Reason is, that Several People here have given over Raising Cocoons Since the Price has been reduced to 1/6 per lb. It is only now Continued Amongst the Poorer Sort of People, & to them who have no Negroes to Assist them it is a very great help. The Silk my Lords is of a better Quality this year than the last for we have now made 671 lbs. & 9 oz. of Silk from 10,752 lbs. of Cocoons & last year we made only 1084 lbs. & 4 oz. from 20,350 lbs. of Cocoons for the Season, Proving this year more favourable than the last. The Cocoons were better, but had all the Silk this year been Spun as fine as the Box No 1. the Filature would have been open till near Christmas & it would by no Means have Answered the Expence. But having frequently wrote fully to your Lordships Relative to the Silk Culture, Particularly in October last, I must desire to Refer to my former letters for any thing further on this Subject, only again beg leave to Repeat that if your Lordships would be Pleased to direct doctor Campbell the Agent or any other Person to Send us over a little fresh Seed 3 lbs. would be a Sufficient Supply, altho if we Could get but half the quantity it would be of the greatest use. For the Seed is so much degenerated that Sometimes from 15 to 19 lbs. of Cocoons will not Produce more Silk than 11 or 12 lbs. from fresh Seed when the worms are Strong & Vigorous. This is a Matter I have been Writing about for many Years but can get None. If it Could be here about Christmas it would be in Proper time. It Should be put up in a Small Jar. I Shall only further add that every Objection that Lyes against the Raising of Silk in Georgia, I am very Clear Lyes agt. it in So. Carolina, & does so in a Stronger degree in East Florida, unless it be in Point of Climate. And I believe there will be very little difference in that with Respect to Silk.

I have Nothing Material to Acquaint your Lordships with Since my last.

His Majesty having been pleased to referr unto this Committee the humble Petition of Isaac Levy setting forth amongst other things, that by a partial and illegal Treaty carried on for some time by His late Majestys Govr. of the Province of Georgia, with a person named Thomas Bosomworth, the Petitioner was illegally dispossessed of his Right and Title to a moiety of two Islands called Oseba and Sapalo lying on the Coast of Georgia; And humbly praying that His Majesty will be graciously pleased to Order the Restitution of a Moiety of the said Islands to the Petitioner, or otherwise to grant him some Lands in the Ceded Islands in the West Indies, or a Grant of the Coal Mine in the Island of Cape Breton for a term of years, and under such other conditions as His Majesty shall please to Order. The Lords of the Committee this day took the said Petition into consideration, and are hereby pleased to referr the same, (a Copy whereof is hereunto annexed) to the Lords Commissioners for Trade and Plantations, to consider thereof, and Report their opinion upon the said Petition to this Committee.

Steph. Cottrell

To the Kings most Excellent Majesty in Council The humble Petition of Isaac Levy.

Humbly sheweth.

That Your Petr. in all due submission, did Petition himself & by his Agents, his late Majesty in 1759, representing, among other things, his Right & Title to a Moiety of two Islands called Oseba & Sapalo, lying on the Coast of Georgia, sold by Order of his said Majesty, & praying to be restored to the said Lands.

Your Petr. humbly begs leave to say, that he conceives these Lands were taken from him contrary to, & inconsistent with the Laws of England, by which your Petitioner is a very great sufferer. For your Petr. humbly conceives, that it is the invariable Law of England, that your Majestys Subjects cannot be dispossessed of Landed property but by legal proceeding in the Law, & your Petr. humbly conceives & represents, to Your Majesty, that Your Petr. was, notwithstanding such Law, dispossessed of his Landed property, by a partial & illegal Treaty carried on in his absence, and unknown to him for some time, by his late Majesty’s Govr. with a person named Thomas Bosomworth, who had no right to treat with him, and had, by no means, a Right to give possession of the said Lands.

That if the said partial and illegal Treaty had not been carried into Execution and the said Islands in immediate consequence thereof had not been given up, Your Petr. would now have been in quiet possession.

Your Petr. begs leave to shew that he is a native of the City of New York in America, has been a resident in London as a Merchant, upwards of fifteen years, and in that time paid great sums of money to the Revenue, as Duties on Merchandize, and has otherwise been a usefull Member of the Community. That Your Petr. did not Act contrary to or in defiance of the Laws in purchasing the said Lands, but beforehand he had the best advice of Council in London, who gave it under his hand to Your Petitioner, that the Title was good and Valid, and thereupon your Petitioner did pay a valuable consideration for the same.

Your Petr. humbly conceives as he was and is advised, that there is no Law in England that hinders his Majestys Subjects from purchasing Lands from the Indians in America, and this is clearly seen from your Majestys Proclamation of the 7th Octr. 1763, which forbids Your Majestys Subjects from that time to make purchases, for the Proclamation recites, that “Whereas great frauds and abuses have been committed in the purchasing Lands of the Indians, to the great prejudice of Our Interest, and to the great dissatisfaction of the said Indians, in order therefore to prevent such irregularities for the future, and to the end that the Indians may be convinced of Our justice and determined Resolution to remove all reasonable Cause of discontent, We do with the advice of Our Privy Council, strictly enjoin and require, that no Private person do presume to make any purchase from the said Indians, of any Lands reserved to the said Indians within these parts of Our Colonies where we have thought proper to allow Settlements, but that if at any time any of the said Indians should be inclined to dispose of the said Lands, the same shall be purchased by Us in Our Name” &c. &c.

Your Petr. therefore humbly conceives that if there was any Law forbidding purchasing from the Indians, Your Majesty would have had no occasion to prevent it by Your Majestys Proclamation, that therefore all just and fair purchases made before 1763, must be understood from the recited Proclamation to be valid and Lawfull, for even those unfair, fraudulent purchases, are called in the said Proclamation only irregularities, and are not vacated, and your Petr. presumes to say, that his purchase is held under a just and fair purchase, as any ever made, and was not prejudicial to Your Majestys Interest, nor dissatisfactory to the Indians, and with respect to provincial Laws there was no Act of Assembly passed in Georgia ‘till 15 February 1758, and confirmed by the King in Council 10 Augt. 1759, prohibiting Indian purchase, and this Act is eleven years after the purchase and quiet possession of Your Petitioner and his Associate.

Your Petr. begs leave to represent to Your Majesty a Case (somewhat similar of this Your Petr.) in 1732, upon a Petition of Waldo and others, and whereon the Lords of the Committee reported to her late Majesty that the Attorney and Sollr. General (to whom it was referred for their Opinion) observed in their Report that some objections were made before them to the Nature of the Grants and Conveyances under which the Petitioners claimed & to the manner of deducing down their Titles. But they conceive that in questions of this kind concerning Rights to Lands in the West Indies, and upon enquiries of this nature the same regularity & exactness is not to be expected, as in private Suits concerning titles to Lands in England, but that in these Cases the principal Regard ought to be had to the possession & the expences the parties had been at in endeavouring to settle & Cultivate such Lands.

“Therefore upon the whole they are of Opinion, that the Petitioners, their Tenants and Agents, ought not to be disturbed in their possessions, or interrupted in carrying on their Settlement in the Lands granted them within the District in question.

“Which Report his Majestys Attorney & Sollr. General having been laid by the Lords Commissrs. for Trade and Plantations before this Committee by their Report of 6 June last, the Lords of Your Committee did this day proceed to take the whole matter into consideration, and do thereupon humbly Report to Your Majesty, that they agree in Opinion with His Majestys Attorney & Sollr. General & C. & C. and that Your Petr. their Tenants & Agents, ought not to be disturbed in their possessions, or interrupted in their Settlement on the said Lands & C. & C. and their Lordships are of Opinion that it may be adviseable for Your Majesty to revoke the Instruction given by his Majesty on the 27 of April 1730 to Richard Phillips Govr. & D. Dunbar relating to the Settling the said Lands, & to Order the said David Dunbar to quit the possession of all the said Lands.

“Her Majesty in Council this day took the said Report into consideration, and was pleased with the advice of His Majestys Privy Council to approve thereof and her Majesty is hereby pleased to revoke such part of the said Instruction given by His Majesty on the 27 of April 1730.”

Your Petr. begs leave to shew that these Islands were in possession of Thomas Bosomworth under whom your Petitioner Claims, from the year 1747, to the year 1754, & five years afterwards in the joint possession of him and your Petitioner, and Your Petr. has been at a great expence in endeavouring to settle and Cultivate the said Lands, and if the War had not broke out in 1756 all the said Islands would have been long before now improved by Your Petitioner to the best advantage, as it was his Interest & went to America in 1755 for that purpose, being under an Obligation at his sole expence so to do by Contact entered into with the said Thomas Bosomworth, but before the War was expired, the said Islands were sold by Order of His Majesty.

James Wright to the Board of Trade, Oct. 13, 1767, Savannah, received and read Dec. 15, 1767, C.O. 5/650, G. 5, relative to silk culture and pay of certain officials.

My Lords

On the 25th of August I acquainted your Lordships what Quantity of Silk had been made here this year and then had the Honor of Writing your Lordships Pretty fully on that Subject, to which & my other Letters I must beg Leave to Refer.

The Several Accounts of the Expence of Purchasing the Cocoons at 1/6 per lb. & that of Repairs at the Filature & for Reeling &cC. &c. &c. were all Examined Approved & passed in Council on the 19th. of September. The whole Amounting to £1101.16.8 1/4 and for Which Sume I have given Certificates. I have also given a Set of Certificates for £143. 8.5 being the Amount of the Indian & Contingent Expences from June 1766 to June 1767. Also Certificates to John Holmes for £20 as a Schoolmaster, and Certificates to William Lyford for £30. as a Pilot, and also Joint Certificates to John Hopkins & Francis Taylor for £20. Say £10 each as Pilots. The Vouchers for all which I have Ordered Mr. Baillie the Commissary to Transmit to doctor Campbell the Agent, and doubt not but the Whole Will appear Proper and Sufficiently Clear to your Lordships.

James Wright to the Board of Trade, Oct. 24, 1767, Savannah, received and read Dec. 15, 1767, C.O. 5/650, G. 6, relative to murders by Indians in East Florida.

My Lords

I am Sorry to Acquaint your Lordships That on the 18th. of Sepr. two Men Inhabitants of East Florida were Murdered by Some Creek Indians, & a third wounded. But this affair appears to me to have Proceeded intirely from a Private Quarrel & in Revenge & Satisfaction for an injury done to one or more of the Indians who Committed the Murders. And when I first heard it, I was very Sure that it Could be nothing Else, and therefore did not Choose to Write to your Lordships on the Subject till I Could do it with Some degree of Certainty. And in Order to Come at which, I Sent out a Party of Sixty of the Militia to Scout through the whole Southern Part of this Province, and the Captain of the Party has Reported to me that he did not See more than one Indian during the Whole time he was upon the Tour of duty.

Early last Spring my Lords Some of the Settlers in East Florida having Lost a Horse or 2 they Suspected a Party of Indians to have Stol’n them, & went in Pursuit of ‘em & I believe found a Horse in their Possession, & being Superior in Number to the Indians, they Tyed them & whipped them Severely. This I was Informed of when I was up St. Marys River in April last, and I then Said I Expected the Indians Would Revenge it. And my Lords Indians have no Idea of any other kind of Satisfaction than Murdering the Persons who they think have Injured them, and these Murders have been Committed on that Account. I have Inclosed yr. Lordship’s Copys of two Affidavits Relative to this matter. No damage has been done in this Province, but Taking Some things out of a Deserted House, and the Murders being Committed in East Florida, & on Settlers in that Province, I Presume Governor Grant will Transmit your Lordships a more Circumstantial Account. ⁵¹

Sir

I am Extremely Sorry to Acquaint you that the Ship Hawke on Board which our Silk was Ship’t & also a Box with the Public Papers & letters after being 2 or 3 days at Sea Met with a Most Violent Storm, Carried Away Some of her Masts & the Rudder & the Vessel Sprung a Leak, and with great difficulty was kept above Water till She Reached this Coast again. The Peoples Lives were all Saved, & Some of the letters, but not my Box. The Ship & all the Cargo was totally Lost, but as the Commissary had Acquainted Doctor Campbell by what Ship the Silk was to go, I hope he made the Insurance. I must beg Sir that you will be Pleased to Acquaint their Lordships with this matter, and that I have Ordered Duplicates of all the Papers to be made out, & wch. will be Transmitted as Soon as Ready.

P.S. Two White Men Settlers in East Florida have been Lately Murdered by Some Indians in the Florida Government. I Shall write their Lordships the Particulars by the next Opportunity.

Secretary of State the Earl of Shelburne to the Board of Trade, Nov. 14, 1767, Whitehall, received Nov., read Dec. 17, 1767, C.O. 5/650, G. 8, relative to the gunpowder duty in Georgia. ⁵²

My Lords

I have His Majesty’s Commands to transmit to Your Lordships, Extract of a Letter from the Governor of Georgia, representing that the Supply of Gun Powder levied upon all Ships trading to that Colony is encreased to above 1,100 Barrels; that there is at present no Publick Use or Demand for Powder; that the Magazines for containing it are too small; that it may take Damage, decay, and be totally lost; and that the Governor is restrained by His Majesty’s 95th. Instruction from allowing any Commutation of this Duty.

I am therefore to signify to Your Lordships His Majesty’s Commands that You take into Your Consideration, and report to me, for His Majesty’s Information, Your Opinion, in due time, whether it may be expedient, or not, to instruct the Governor to assent to a Law for the Sale of such part of the Gun Powder now in the Magazines as may be in danger of perishing, and for the Commutation of that Duty for the future into Money to be applied for the Publick Service, till such time as it may again be necessary to levy this Duty in kind, agreeable to the original Intention of the Act by which it was first imposed.

Memorial of Isaac Levy to the Board of Trade, Jan. 1768, London, received and read Jan. 26, 1768, C.O. 5/650, G. 12, concerning Levy’s rights in Bosomworth’s Georgia lands. ⁵³

Your memorialist having had intimated to him Your Lordships good disposition that some compensation adequate to his sufferings might be render’d to him, has thereupon been induc’d to Petition His Majesty, which Petition your memorialist hopes is now opportunly referr’d to Your Lordships.

Your memorialist beggs leave to inform your Lorps [Lordships] that he should not had occasion to have appeared before You, and should not have been detain’d in London, almost four years, if he could have brought his Actions at law, at Georgia, agt. Bosomworth & others now in possession of your memorialist’s Lands; for your memorialist has ever since the year 1761, by unwearied endeavours made to commence suits at Law there, having empowerd no less than five different persons alternatly for that purpose, but without success they having all of them peremptorily declin’d acting, some expressly informing your memorialist that they could not undertake it, because the affair, as they say, was already determined by Government, and which notion has generally, & still prevail there. Your memorialist is therefore Assured that unless he goes himself to Georgia (a climate altogether extremely disagreeable to him) not only to commence the Suits, but to tarry till the suits are determin’d there (which will be very prejudicial to him by being keept from his commercial concerns). Your memorialist has not the least hopes if ever an end will be put thereto, and he is morally assured that after he has been put to great expence of money, trouble & time (of which he has already had sufficient) in attending the suits in Georgia, your memorialist must at last come to London to have a final determination, as it is most certain that whatever is the event of the litigation at Georgia, an appeal to his Majesty will absolutly be the consequence thereof which could hardly happen if the Crown was not eventually interested in these suits.

Your memorialist cannot help observing that as he is not conscious of any imprudent or illegal step he has taken that should occasion such an expence & Trouble he has been at already & still to be at, unless reliev’d by your Lordships representation; he cannot help saying that he thinks it extremly hard for an Englishman under English laws to be so undeservedly oppress’d, and which could not have happened had no indirect step been taken to deprive your memorialist of his undoubted property. And Your memorialist beggs leave to mention that he was not in any Sense whatever imposed upon by Bosomworth or any other person in the purchase of these Lands, as it has been said, for Bosomworth in the sale of these Lands to your memorialist acted like an honest man in giving a true & faithfull State of his Title and did not conceal or misrepresent any fact whatsoever, and he at that time bore an irreproachable character as far as your memorialist knew from the best information he could have, or otherwise your memorialist would not on any consideration have been concern’d with him. And your Memorialist did not relye on his own Judgement in respect to the validity of the Title but had the opinion of one of the best Council in London that the Title was Good, and it has not been shewn hitherto that it is otherwise; but your memorialist cannot say that Bosomworth afterwards acted like an honest man in entering into a Treaty with the Governour, to whom he previously gave his proposals in writing, for the Sale of these Lands, notwithstanding he had before Sold and convey’d a moiety of them to your memorialist, And it cannot even be suggested that the Governor was ignorant of any of these last Facts.

James Wriaht to the Board of Trade, June 8, 1768, Savannah, received Aug. 8, read Aug. 10, 1768, C.O. 5/650, G. 16, containing remarks on several acts recently passed in Georgia and the flourishing state of the province.

My Lords.

On the 23d. ult I did my Self the Honor of Writing to the Earl of Hillsborough His Majesties Principal Secretary of State for America, in which I acquainted his Lordship that on the 11th of April last I assented to the Tax Bill & 13 other Bills and then, Transmitted to his Lordship the Tax Law, & Negro Law with my Observations thereon, & Reasons for assenting to them, and wch I have now the Honor to Transmit to your Lordships with the Several other Bills. And First with Respect to the Tax Bill I observed to his Lordship That by His Majesties Royal Commission “all Public Money Raised, or which Shall be Raised by any Act of Assembly is directed to be Issued by Warrant from the Governor by & with the advice & Consent of the Council, & disposed of by the Govr. for the Support of Government & not Otherwise. “ And my Instrns Say “That all Money Raised Shall be granted to His Majesty & Lodged in the Hands of such Person as he Shall appoint Treasurer, to be Issued by him in Such manner & to such Persons as the Govr. & Council Shall think Proper to direct & in no other Manner, or by any Other Authority whatever. “ From which I Presume my Lords it was meant or Supposed That the Assembly Would Grant a Sume in gross without Particularizing the Services & C. to be Lodged in the Hands of the Treasurer, and that this Sume Should be Issued & Applied by the Govr. with the advice & Consent of the Council as above. And I must acquaint your Lordships that neither the Words of the Comn or Instrns have ever been Observed or Pursued. They had not by either of my Predecessors Govr. Reynolds or Govr. Ellis, and I found on my Arrival & taking the Government upon me that it was Impracticable to make any Alteration in the Method used before I came to the Governmt. wch was that the Assembly had always been Allowed to Join in the Appropriation of the Money, or indeed rather to Appropriate it themselves. As your Lordships will see by the Law now Sent, and wch I Conceive is the Material & Essential Part of both the Comn. & Instrns. on this Point. And the Mode of Issuing the Money has always been declared in the Clause next before the Estimate in these words. “That the Treasurer for the time being Shall Issue the Monies Raised & Granted as aforesaid by order of the Govr. & Council, in the following Manner that is to Say” &c. as appropriated & directed by the Law, and instead of the Govrs. Warrant to the Treasurer, an Order in Council has been made to Issue Such a Sume to Such a Person agreeable to the Law. And this Method I Say my Lords being allowed & Established by two Govrs. before I came, I found I could not Prevail on them to make the Alteration agreeable to the Comn. & Instrns. & therefore Acquiesced, and the rather as it had been Practiced for Six years without any objection from Home as I was Informed, nor has any been made Since I came here. In the Tax Bill now Transmitted the Clause is Worded in a different Manner Vizt. “That the Govr. & Council Shall give an order to the Treasurer for the time being, who Shall Issue the Monies Raised & Granted as aforesaid in the following manner that is to Say” as appropriated & directed by the Law. And this my Lords the assembly Call & declared they Mean’t as a Compulsory Clause to Oblige the Govr. & Council to Issue an order to the Treasurer for Paymt. in all Cases whatever & that they Should have no Power or Pretence to refuse it. And the better to Elucidate the Intention of the Assembly in this, it was Necessary for me to State to his Lordship the dispute that arose between the Council & assembly in March 1767, and wch in Part Still Subsists and I have Reason to fear will Prevent any business being done at an Meeting next Winter, unless I can fall on Some Method to Settle the Matter before we meet, or his Lordship Shall be Pleased to give Some directions thereupon. This dispute yr. Lordships will recollect was Relative to the Appointment of an Agent & that the Assembly had appointed one themselves. But this I omit Stating to yr. Lordships, as I did it fully last year when the matter happened.

And on the 18 of Febr. last the Clerk of the Council on the Application of the Speaker laid an account before me in Council, & desired an order to the Treasurer for Paymt. of the £100 to Mr. Garth as inserted in the Estimate of March 1767. The Entry on wch yr. Lordships have now Inclosed This I thought necessary to State to His Lordship that he might be Clearly Possessed of the Foundation & Nature of the dispute between the Council & Assembly & for wch I refer Yr. Lordship to my Letter & the Papers Transmitted in April 1767. And however Trivial this matter may appear, I See it as a Matter of Real Consequence to His Majesties Service in this Province. And what If I Cannot reconcile it before we meet, I expect will Occasion a Breach or difference that will interrupt the Public business. For my Lords the new Elected assembly are most of them Violent Sons of Liberty as they Call themselves. And I much fear, & wish they May not rather be disposed to act Improperly, under the Specious Pretence of Maintaining their Natural Rights &c. as the Pensylvania Farmer calls it. Mr. Farmer I Conceive has most Plentifully Sown the Seeds of Faction & Sedition to Say no worse, & I’m Sorry my Lords I have so much Reason to Say they are Scattered in a very fertile Soil, & that the Well known author is adored in America, & no Mark of Honor & Respect they can Shew him is thought Equal to his Merit.

The Point in dispute my Lords with respect to the Appointment of an Agent is for the Present got over. The Assembly having on the 25 of March last Sent up an Ordinance for the Appointment of Doctor Franklin wch the Council Passed & I assented to on the 4th of April, but the Assembly still Confidently assert that they have the Sole Right. However the only dispute that Remains at Present is with Respect to the Paymt. of the £100 Provided as above & of wch Payment has been refused by the Council in the Manner & for the Reasons herein before Mentioned. And I am Credibly Informed that Several of the Late Members declare they have got into the assembly again, on Purpose to Oblige & Compel the Govr. & Council to give an order for the Paymt. of that £100 in the way they Please to have it. The Council I See Clearly will not, & think they Cannot give way, if they were disposed to do so. And thus it is my Lords that I Expect will Prevent any business being done when we meet in Octr. or Novr. next unless I Can fall on Some Method to Remove the Obstacle in the Mean time. And my Lords With Respect to the Mode of Issuing the Money for the Future, whether His Majesty will Suffer or approve of the Mode Prescribed in the last Tax Law or whether His Majesty will be Pleased to direct me to require it to be done in any other Manner & what? is a matter I Shall be Extremely Glad to have Instns. upon, for I am very Certain unless it is expressly required by His Majesty it will for the Future remain on the Same Footing it was put last Session, or Probably in the next Tax Bill they will take upon them to Insert Something more Peremptory than they have done in the last, in order to Shew their Superior Right or Power, as the Spirit of Assuming Power, and Raising the Importance of the Assembly Seems to be at Present the Ruling Passion.

It has always been usual my Lords to delay going upon the Tax Bill or Supplies, till all the other business is gone through, by wch it may be kept as a Sort of Tack, to any & every thing Else they Please to do. If this Method Should be thought Improper, & that the aids ought to be first granted, Possibly His Majesties Express Command or Requisition to them to Proceed on the Tax Bill first, Might be the Means of altering their usual & Favourite Method, altho I must Say I am not without my doubts whether they would Comply with Such a Requisition. For my Lords on Laying His Majesties Requisition before them to Comply with the Terms of the Mutiny Act, they came to a Resolution of Inserting an Article in the Tax Bill, and I was given to understand it Should be the first thing they went upon after the holidays. And finding that the Tax Bill was not mentioned after sitting to do business 3 weeks after the holidays, I sent them a Message by wch I required them in His Majesties Name forthwith to Proceed to Comply with the Kings Requisition, and that no other business or Obstacle might interfere with or Prevent that matter from being Perfected, & as a Mark of that Respect wch was due to His Majesties Requisition, I, in the Strongest Manner Recommended it to them to Proceed upon that business apart, & by a Separate Law, & not to make it an Article in the Tax Bill as they Proposed. And altho’ a Comee, Reported it as their Opinion that Leave Should be given to bring in a Bill for that Purpose, yet it was disagreed to by the House. And yor. Lordships will See by their Proceedings on this affair how Courteously & Carefully they have Avoided the least Notice or Mention of His Majesties Requisition or the Act of Parliamt. and how far this may be deemed a Compliance with the True Spirit or Meaning of His Majesties Requisition may not be so Proper for me to Say. But I must beg leave to Observe that it was Impossible to Obtain it in any other Manner. And I Presume whatever may be Provided for the next year (if any thing is) will be in the Same Manner. I have been the more Explicit on this Matter that if it Should appear or be thought Exceptionable or Improper, I may receive express Orders or Instrns. before we meet to go upon business. Thus much my Lords I have thought Necessary to Observe with respect to the Tax Bill now Transmitted & on affairs in General.

And with Respect to the Negro Law wch I have assented to, I inclose yor. Lordships a Copy of my Messages to both Houses on Receiving His Majesties Order of Repeal & of their addresses on that Occasion & I also Inclose yor. Lordships a Copy of the Joint address of both Houses to me to assent to the Bill now Transmitted, & on this Subject my Lords I must beg leave to Observe that the Negro Law is so absolutely Essential to our Local Circumstances, that without a Law to keep our Slaves in Order, no Man’s life or Property would be safe a Moment. In Short our very existence depends upon it. ‘Twas therefore my Lords altogether Impossible for me to Comply Strictly with His Majesties 19 Instrn. wch Says that I Shall not re-enact any Law to wch the King’s assent has been once refused, without express Leave for that Purpose first Obtained, upon a full Representation made by me to the Board of Trade to be Laid before the King, of the Reasons & Necessity of Passing Such a Law. But in our Situation my Lords, there was an absolute Necessity to Pass Some Law Immediately as a Succedaneum to that wch his Majesty was Pleased to Repeal or disallow, so as to Prevent the Province from being thrown into the utmost Confusion & distress & to make Some Shift in the Mean time and untill I Could Lay a State of the Case before His Majesty agreeable to the Tenor of the above Instrn. I therefore my Lords Examined the former Law with great attention & mark’t the most general Clauses, or any that I thought Could Possibly appear in the least Exceptionable, to be omitted, and framed a new Bill with a different Title, wch I assented to for one year only, and with wch we must Endeavour to do as well as we can, untill His Majesties Pleasure is known Touching the Same. Had the Objections to the former Law been Transmitted to me, I Should have Endeavoured to have avoided the Exceptionable Parts, if it Could have been done Consistent with the Safety of the People. But as no Reasons have been Transmitted I am quite at a Loss & its Impossible for me to Judge what they were. Give me Leave my Lords to Observe that in these Countries, which are not tillable, or can be Planted & Improved without Slaves, Laws Properly adapted to their Situation are absolutely Necessary. And its Impossible to Subsist without them. And such Laws to a Briton who has not been in America, & has no Idea of Slavery, may, nay must Seem Contrary to the Laws of England, & almost totally exceptionable, but we Cannot do without them here. And my Lords I have with great care & attention Compared our Repealed Law, with the Negro Laws of Jamaica, So. Carolina & Virginia, and must beg Leave to Remark, that whatever Part of that Law may Seem Exceptionable, I Conceive must be so, in as great, if not a greater Degree in the Several Negro Laws of the Countries I have Mentioned. Wherefore I Humbly hope His Majesty will be graciously Pleased to Permit me to have Such a Law Framed as may be Suitable to the Local Circumstances & Situation of affairs here, & as may be really necessary for the safety of the People & the Prosperity & Improvement of this very Flourishing Province.

With Respect to His Majesties Royal Instrn. Relative to the Establishing a Court of Commission for Settling the Claims to the Lands to the Southward of the Alatamaha granted by the Govr. of So. Carolina, your Lordship will See by my Messages & the addresses how that matter was laid before them, and in Consequences thereof a Bill was ordered to be Prepared. When a Report was Industriously Spread & Propagated by Some of the Sons of Liberty, that the intention was to Establish a Court of Exchequer, & that this either was, or would be turned into one wch they are so averse to, that no Bill was brought in, & the matter Seemed intirely drop’t, & I don’t Expect any thing will be done in it, & of Course those Lands will Lye Waste & unimproved.

His Majesty was also Pleased to disapprove of & Repeal another Act Intitled an Act for Encouraging Settlers & C. This Law my Lords I Conceive would have been attended with very Salutary Consequences to the Province, & am Extremely Sorry it met with His Majesties disapprobation, and as I have not been Indulged with the Reasons for the Repeal, I am at a loss to know how to Frame one for the Purposes of the former & that May not be Lyable to the Same Objection. I Presume it may have been on account of Issuing the Money in Certificates to be Sunk in 5 year’s. In answer to wch I must beg leave to Observe, that if we are not allowed to Provide for Temporary Service in that Manner it will be Impossible to Carry on any Public Buildings or works of any kind, or to Promote the Settling of the Province & C. for the People Cannot afford to pay more or greater Taxes than are at Present laid upon them, wch Considerably exceed the Tax in the Neighbouring Province. But my Lords if we are Suffered to Provide for & defray the Expence of Such Matters by Issuing Certificates to be Sunk by the general Tax in a Certain Term of years not Exceeding 5, we may then be able to Erect Public Buildings & C. Otherwise my Lords all these things must Cease, for its Impossible to Raise the Money all at once by a General Tax. The Circumstances of the People will not admit of it. It happened very Fortunately that only the £700 towards Building the Court House Part of the £1815 was Actually Issued, and the rest Remained in the Treasurers Hands £215 of wch was Sunk in a former Tax, & £500 I got Sunk or Inserted in the last Tax Bill now Sent, so that the Province is not Indebted on that account. But I would humbly hope to know the Objections that I may in Future avoid them.

His Majesties 23d Instrn. to me “allows me to assent to any Temporary Law for Making Provisions to defray the Expence of Temporary Services Provided our Law expires & has its full Effect when the Service for wch Such Law is Passed Shall Cease & be determined. “ And my Lords as a Fund was Established for Sinking the Certificates, Vizt. the General Tax and as they were not made a Tender in Law, I thought my Self Authorised to Assent to that Bill. But if I have Mistook the True Meaning and Spirit of His Majesties Royal Instrn. I hope yor. Lordships will be Pleased to let me know, that I may Regulate my Future Conduct accordingly. In order to Encourage new Comers to Settle in Townships, it has been usual in So. Carolina to Exempt them from Taxes for Ten years, & His Majesty has Allowed the Govr. to Sign Grants to Such Persons Exempted from the Paymt. of Quit rents for ten years. And the Other Branches of the Legislature have agreed to the Exemption from Taxes & Requested me to Pray that His Majesty will be graciously Pleased to allow the same Indulgence with respect to the Quit rents, which matter I must entreat yor. Lordships to Countenance as far as may Lye with you.

Besides the Tax Bill & Negro Bill above mentioned I also assented to “An Act to Prevent as much as may be the Spreading of the Small Pox in this Province. “ This Seemed a very Necessary & Salutary Law my Lords as nearly Concerning the Lives & Properties of the People in General, & I think must answer very good Purposes. “An Act for Regulating the Assize of Bread. “ This also my Lords was a Necessary Law to Prevent Frauds & abuses by the Bakers to the Prejudice of the Poor & Inhabitants in General. “An Act to Empower the Church Wardens & Vestry of the Parish of Christ Church, to Enlarge the Cemetery or Public burial Ground at Savanah, & to inclose the Same. “ This also was Necessary decent & Usefull. “An Act to Explain an Act Intitled an Act for Ascertaining the Qualification of Jurors & for Establishing the Method of Balloting & Summoning of Jurors in the Province of Georgia. “ This Explanatory Law Seemed Necessary to Obviate Some doubts wch had Arisen relative to Serving on Jurys. “An Act to Impower the Commissioners therein Named to Put up to Sale for the benefit of the Public, the Ferry over great Ogechee River at a Place Called the Pine Bluff, for a Term of five years, and to Authorise the Said Comrs. to Inspect & Regulate the Said Ferry. “ This appeared to be a usefull Law, it was brought in & Passed the assembly the last year, but Rejected by the Council for want of Clause agreeable to the Statute of Queen Anne Relative to the Post Office. And the assembly being Expressly told that even if the Council Should Pass it, I would Reject it, they then Inserted a Clause agreeable to the above Statute, & I Presume it is now unexceptionable. “An Act for Granting to His Majesty a duty upon Raw Neats Hides Exported from this Province, & for preventing the Exportation of unmerchantable Tanned Leather. “ As no Raw hides are ever Exported from hence to G. Britain, I Saw Nothing Exceptionable in this Bill & therefore assented to it. “An Ordinance for appointing Inspectors of Tanned Leather for the Ports of Savanah and Sunbury in this Province. ” This became Necessary on Passing the above Act. “An Additional Act to the Act of the General Assembly Intitled an Act to Empower the Several Commissioners or Surveyors therein after Named to Lay out & make Such Public Roads in the Province of Georgia as are herein after Named & directed, & to Continue to Work upon, Clear Repair & improve the Several Roads already laid out and also the Rivers & Creeks within their Several & Respective Divisons, For dividing the Second Northwest Divison of the Roads in this Province into two Parts, For Establishing a Divison upon the North Side of Great Ogechee River in the Parish of St. Mathew, and for Empowering the Comrs. or Surrs. of Roads in the third South West Divison to Lay out a Public Road within the Same & for appointing Additional Comrs. or Surrs. for the Said Division. “ This Bill my Lords is Particularly adapted to the Local Circumstances of those Parts of the Country through which the Several Roads Run or Pass & appeared usefull & Necessary. “An Act for Establishing Several Ferrys in this Province, & for Vesting the same in the Persons therein Mentioned. “ This Bill also my Lords is founded on the Same Reasons as the above additional Road Law, And Appeared usefull & Necessary, and there being a Clause in it agreeable to the Statute of Queen Anne Relative to the Post Office, I had no Objection to it. “An Act for Continuing the Several Laws therein Mentioned. “ This appeared Necessary & the Reasons for Passing it are Obvious. “An Ordinance For Appointing Robert Nichols Esqr. Comptroller and Collector of the Country Dutys at the Port of Sunbury in the Room of Francis Lee Esqr. deceased. “ This also Speaks for itself. “An Ordinance appointing Benjamin Franklin Esqr. Agent to Solicit the affairs of this Province in Great Britain. “ This also appeared usefull & Necessary 6: the more so as it (for the Present) Put an End to a dispute wch had Subsisted between the Council & assembly for upwards of a year Past. These were all the Laws I assented to during the last Session, and I Conceive they may all be very usefull.

Permit me to Say my Lords That the People of this Province are a very Industrious Thriving People, and our Produce & Trade has increased amazingly. For instance the year I came here 1760, they did not make 4000 lbs. of Rice in the whole Province, and last year we made at least 17,000 lbs. and from Loading only 42 Sail of Vessels we have Loaded about 185 in a year, and are Making a very Rapid Progress towards being an Opulent & Considerable Province. And give me leave further to Observe my Lords, That I look upon this to be the most Flourishing Colony on the Continent. I am well Acquainted with the Soil, and aver it to be in General Extremely good, except the Pine Land wch in all these Colonies is only Valuable on Account of the Timber it bears. I am also well Acquainted with the Lands in South Carolina, & not Ignorant of those in East Florida, and therefore am Clear as to the Importance & Consequence of this Province. I See difficulties in Improving, and have Objections to the Lands in East Florida, Especially those on St. Juans River, wch do not Occur with Respect to the Lands here, and it is certain beyond a doubt that this Province has, must & will make a most Rapid Progress. And believe me my Lords is Extremely Well worth Attention & Support, as it will in a very few year’s make as Considerable a Figure as most on the Continent.

I also now Transmit to yr. Lordships The Registers Abstracts of Grants from the 25th of March 1767 to the 25 of March 1768, also the Minutes of the Proceedings of the Governor in Council to December 1767, also the Journals of both Houses during the last Session.

I have Nothing Material to add at Present.

P. S. My Lords within 2 or 3 days past things here have taken a very agreeable Turn, and from a Conversation I had yesterday, I am hopefull I shall be able to reconcile the difference I have Mentioned, & which I was Apprehensive Might interrupt our Public business. I am to have a Meeting Shortly with Some Gentl. on that Subject & of wch I thought it my duty to Acquaint Yr Lordships.

James Wright to the Board of Trade, Nov. 1, 1768, Savannah, received and read Feb. 11, 1769, C.O. 5/650, G. 31, relative to expences for the silk culture and salary of the pilot at Savannah.

My Lords

I have the Honor to Acquaint your Lordships that the Several Accounts of the Expence of Purchasing the Cocoons this year at 1/6 p. lb. and of the Necessary Repairs at the Filature and the Expence of Reeling &c. &c. were all Examined Approved & Passed this day in Council. The whole Amounting to £946. 19.4 Sterl. and for which Sume I have given Certificates as usual.

Proposals of John Dalmar, identified as conversant with silk culture, to the Board of Trade, received and read Dec. 9, 1768, C.O. 5/650, G. 22, with suggestions for the more effectual growth of raw silk in America.

It is presumed a Bounty of 20 per. ct. on every pound Averdupoize or 16 oz, of good clean Raw Silk, imported from any of His Majesties Dominions, in America, (To be paid on the price such silk might sell for, at Public Sale, in London) would be a Sufficient encouragement, to induce Individuals, to enter upon the Culture of Raw Silk, with a good prospect of Advantage to themselves; Tho, the Bounty was not continued, but, for a certain limitted time. Vizt. For the first ten Years at 20 per. ct. The next Five Years at 10 per. ct. and the ensuing Five Years, at 5 per. ct. after which time, the whole to cease.⁶¹

The Objections that might be Suggested, against so large a Bounty: That, it woud induce, evil minded people, to send Silk from Italy, to be imported thro’ the Colonies for the Sake of the Bounty, Can be of no weight at all; Especially if Governmt. confine the whole plan, to be under the absolute inspection of the Govr. and Council in each Province, And that no importation from thence, be admitted to the Bounty, unless accompanyed by Certificates, under their Hands & Seals.

That, the Silk therein Specifyed, is actually the produce, of such perticular Plantation, of Mulberry Trees, properly fenced in, and secured; and reeled off, from Silk Worms fed thereon, mentioning the numbers of trees, and quantity of ground planted, together with the name, and place of abode, of the Proprietor, in each district.

This plan bids fair, for preventing frauds in general, and will demonstrate, the real encrease of Plantations.

The culture of Raw Silk ought not to be proposed, But as a branch of Industry united to other Employments. And in this Light, it is well adapted, to the Care of Women and Children, or Young people, of both Sexes.

The only reason why Men, are chiefly employed in Italy, Spain, & France, arises from their having little else to do.

Memorial of John Campbell,⁶² Board of Trade Agent for Georgia, to the Board of Trade, London, Nov. 21, 1768, received and read Dec. 9, 1768, C.O. 5/650, G. 23, relative to the silk culture in Georgia.

The great Candour and Condescension shewn by their Lordships to the Agent for Georgia, in the Conference with which they were pleased to honour him on Thursday last, has made the deepest impression on his Mind, and engaged him to turn his Thoughts very seriously on this Subject; in Order to lay before their Lordships as clearly as is in his Power the few Lights that his poor Abilities enable him to supply on a Point, which he is very sensible is of great Importance; and he hopes their Lordships will have the Goodness to receive the Thoughts he is now about to offer, with the same Favour and Kindness that they have always shewn him, and which to the utmost of his Capacity, he will ever study to deserve.

He would begin with stating exactly from the Vouchers in his Hands, what the Produce has been of the Silk imported from the Colony for the Years 1765 and 1766, (the Silk produced there in the Year 1767 being unfortunately lost, and the Growth of the present Year which is but 541 Pounds, not being yet arrived) and the Expence with which it has been attended to the Public. Vizt.

In the Year 1765, the Quantity of Silk raised

in the Province of Georgia including

This Account shews what the Agent hath received for the use of the Public, and what in Pursuance of his Trust he has paid by the Governor’s Certificates to the Colony. But he apprehends their Lordships expect some farther Lights in Regard to the Value of the Silk, which he will likewise endeavour to state as clearly as he can.

In the Year 1765, the Silk produced in Georgia (exclusive of the Filozel or Refuse, which was this year sold at 9d per Pound), amounted to 686 Pounds

Which sold at a Medium for 19 s. 3 1/2 d a Pound.

Dividing the Bounty by that Produce of Silk, it amounts to 31 s. 2 3/4 d per pound.

In the Year 1766 the Silk from this Province, exclusive of the Filozel, which was this Year sold at 6 d per Pound, amounted to … 1089 Pounds

Which sold at a Medium for 19 s. 2 1/2 d a Pound Dividing the Bounty by that Produce, it amounts to 18 s. 4 1/4 d per Pound.

In order to judge of the Interest the Nation has in this Matter, there are many Things to be considered which will set it in a very different Light from that in which it stands at the first View.

The Silk Manufacture at this Juncture is much greater and more flourishing than ever it was in any former Period, owing to the great Encouragement given by the Public in prohibiting all Foreign Wrought Silks. It is evident from hence that so extensive a Manufacture must consume an immense Quantity of the Raw Material which whether it comes to Us from Spain, Italy, or China, is paid for in Money. It was therefore a very wise Policy to endeavour at the raising of Silk in Our Colonies in America, and it is Matter of great Concern that what was thought by the ablest Judges from the Consideration of Soil and Climate, a Matter of great Facility, appears from the foregoing Account to be a Thing attended with so many embarrassing Circumstances; but notwithstanding this, it ought not to be considered as desperate.

This will appear less wonderful if we consider with what Difficulty Silk has been introduced in other Countries. In France, Henry the 4th brought it in by Compulsion, against the Voice of the People, the Cry of the Merchants, and the Sense of that able Statesman the Duc de Sully. It was attempted by King James the first in this Country; and the Proclamation he published on this Subject is by many held to be the best that appeared in his Reign. But it was without Effect. In Friuli⁶³ which belongs to the Venetians, where they have actually as good Silk as in any Part of Italy, the People cannot be persuaded to attend to its Culture, but rather choose to live in Indolence and Indigence, in Spite of all the Exhortations of some good Citizens.

About one hundred and twenty Years ago, the ingenious Mr. Samuel Hartlib published several Pieces to shew that the raising of Silk was a Thing very practicable in Virginia, and both he & other Writers have laboured to prove that it might be rendered a much better Staple than Tobacco, which Notion of theirs does by no Means seem to be untrue. Somewhat more than a Hundred Years since, the Coronation Robe of King Charles the 2d. was made of Virginia Silk, but from that Time to this we have heard little or nothing of the Silk Culture in that Country, tho’ the Colony is become very numerous; which shews that merely from the Encrease of Population, we have no great Reason to hope that this Matter will mend in Georgia, more especially when We consider that the Colony is at present more peopled than when it produced a large Quantity of Silk.

We must not therefore in a Thing of such Consequence, trust either to Chance or Time; the first is an Agent on which We can never rely, and in Respect to the latter, notwithstanding what has been said in its Favour, it appears from Experience to be as little to be depended upon; at least in the present Case.

But on what then are we to depend? Upon such better Method than we have hitherto pursued; and let it be observed that tho’ the Money spent in this Service in Georgia has been attended with Loss instead of Profit, yet we have learned one Thing from it that is fairly worth all the Money it has cost, which is, that as good Silk may be raised in that Colony as in any Part of the World; so that now we are to set out again. Yet the first and the most difficult Step is gained. We want Silk & we have a Country that will produce it, and produce as much Silk as we want, which is the Point that I shall first explain.

The Silk in Piedmont is not more excellent in Quality than in its Management, so that it makes the principal Wealth and is the constant Object of the People’s Care. All Ranks deal in it. The Man of Property lets out his Land regulating his Rent by the Number of white Mulberry Trees with which it may be planted. The Farmer lets these Trees to the Peasant for the feeding of Silk Worms from 5/. to 9 s a Tree. Sometimes they furnish Eggs for the Worms, and a certain Quantity of Leaves; the Peasants attend the Worms while spinning, and the Nett Profit of the Silk is divided between them. This Silk (that is to say, the finest of it) sells to the Merchant at a Louis d’Or a Pound, but there are several Sorts, and so there are of ours; for tho’ we have stated the mean Price above, yet at the Sales, some of our Silk brought 22 s and some only 10 s. 8 d. The Manner of winding, reeling, and making up the Silk is precisely settled at Piedmont, & every Thing so well and so strictly regulated, that the Ordinances there may serve as a Model for any other Country where the great Object is Silk. Piedmont is thought to produce about as much of that Commodity as is consumed in Britain.

We have in Georgia as much Land fit for this Culture, allowing also for the Subsistence of the Inhabitants, as there is in Piedmont. The white Mulberry Tree grows as well and quicker, and the Worms properly managed will share in the Profit; and if the Computation in Respect to Georgia be too large, or which is more probable, our Manufacture should encrease, the Silk Culture would spread through them in Proportion; so that we should never be at a Loss for the Raw Material, want any other Market than those of our own Subjects, or receive it on any other Terms than in Exchange for our own Commodities. What a Benefit this would be is easier to comprehend than to express.

In pursuing these speculations, the Agent for His Majesty’s Colony of Georgia does not forget the low Estate in which it stands at present, and the small Progress that hath been hitherto made in an Affair of which he thinks so highly. He confesses however that the Means of accomplishing these great Things are not within the Compass of his Conceptions, tho’ he is fully persuaded that they exist in Nature. The surest Way to discover them is to consult the most eminent Dealers in Silk; he will name three, Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Nouaille, and Mr. Paterson, Gentlemen of great Ingenuity, Penetration, and Integrity, who he is satisfied will be moved by the Politeness of the present Board to give them with the greatest Sincerity the surest Lights and the best Advice in their Power.

In the mean Time he would beg that what Lord Hillsborough mentioned as to the giving the Bounty in Georgia upon Silk rather than Cocoons, and in Proportion to the Goodness of the Silk, should be intimated to the Governor, and that he should be desired to spread the whole Operation as much as possible, without obliging every Body to resort to the Filature; and in that Case, to compensate the present Director who is an old Man, with a handsome Gratuity, which might induce him not only to acquiesce in this Alteration but to promote it, which would be a great Step gained. It might possibly contribute to the same End if the Quit Rents of the Province were paid in Silk; or at least if all fresh Grants of Land were given under this Condition, without a Power of commuting it for Money.

After a long Detail with which he has fatigued their Lordships, the Agent for Georgia most humbly begs that they will pardon whatever the Spirit and Vivacity which their Goodness excited, may have carried him into, beyond the Bounds of an Officer in his Nation, and this in Consideration of the high Regard he has for this Board, upon which he has always thought the Honour & Prosperity of his Country in a great Measure depends.
