Note
"I know nothing of the Sussex election & hope the D of R is not so deeply concerned in the expence, as your letter hints."
"The confusions in N. America, if they proceed to blows, will indeed become more & more difficult to be hereafter resettled."
"I hear the intentions of administration are to commit the new Parl.t early in an approbation of all the measures of the last session relative to America ...."
"It may perhaps be prudent for an administration whose conduct & measurers are bringing on certain ruin to this country, to try to get some shelter, & to be able to plead ...."
"... [I]f confusions increase in America, & the consequential distress & ruin falls upon all trade & commerce here, when that begins to operate (which it will not do till probably late next spring or ... not till summer), I think the minister may then find, that this is an indignant country!"
Nesbitt is probably Arnold Nesbitt, a member of the House of Commons who was a supporter of the later Rockingham ministry.
