My Compliments to your Brother, and believe me to be with the utmost sincerity Your most Obedient humble Servant, H. GRAY. THOMAS CUSHING TO JASPER MAUDUIT BOSTON, April 9, 1764 SIR, - I have received your much esteem'd Favors of the 24th December and the 11th February last. Am glad if any information I gave you relative to the Sugar Act was acceptable. I have perused your Letters to the Speaker and the Memorial you presented to the Treasury. The Memorial is generally allow'd to be handsomely drawn and the Arguments, used, much to the purpose, but your Friends are sorry to observe some concessions you have made. It was presumed you woud not have conceeded to any Duty till you had heard from the Court. They have Instructed you to the Contrary and its probable will think themselves oblidged to disavow any concessions you have made of this nature; I have wrote your Brother more particularly relating to this matter, as I learn he drew the Memorial, and therefore shall wave saying any thing further upon it. The Court ought to have instructed you before, their silence I suppose led you to think they woud acquiesce in a Duty if it was such as the trade woud bare, 1 See p. 144n, supra. |
