Description
Acknowledges Johnson's letter of Sept. 1, which he has shown to Mr. Allen; all in high spirits over the election, having got the better of the Friends and thrown out their leaders, Franklin, Galloway, and Rhodes, but in doing so have let in the Germans, a plant that will take a deep root and overspread the governor and last as long as the province itself; Napier had sent De Lancey an order in council for 10,000 acres of land; asks Johnson to indicate land not taken up or claimed by Indians.
