“union between our mother country and these colonies, and the energy of mild and just government, produced benefits so remarkably important, and afforded such an assurance of their permanency and increase, that the wonder and envy of other nations were excited, while they beheld great britain rising to a power the most extraordinary the world had ever known…

solemnly assure your majesty, that we not only most ardently desire the former harmony between her and these colonies may be restored but that a concord may be established between them upon so firm a basis, as to perpetuate its blessings uninterrupted by any future dissension to succeeding generations in both countries…

… we beg leave further to assure your majesty that notwithstanding the sufferings of your loyal colonists during the course of the present controversy, our breasts retain too tender a regard for the kingdom from which we derive our origin to request such a reconciliation as might in any manner be inconsistent with her dignity or her welfare….

majesty will find your faithful subjects on this continent ready and willing at all times, as they ever have been with their lives and fortunes to assert and maintain the rights and interests of your majesty and of our mother country…

therefore beseech your majesty, that your royal authority and influence may be graciously interposed to procure us relief [sic] from our afflicting fears and jealousies occasioned by the system before mentioned, and to settle peace through every part of your dominions… and that in the meantime measures be taken for preventing the further destruction of the lives of your majesty’s subjects; and that such statutes as more immediately distress any of your majestys colonies be repealed…”
