A letter from a gentleman at Barbados, to his friend in
London, dated March 15th, 1749-50.
Sir, His Majesty's sloop Jamaica, Capt Galbraith
commander, being about to sail for London, with dispatched
from his Excellency Mr. Greenville our Governor and
Commodore Holbourne, I could not avoid writing you a short
state of the negociation on which this vessel was sent out
express, tho' you will have it with more certainty from the
public letters. . . [2 columns on dispute with France over
methods of evacuating neutral islands.] British subjects
have good reason to sing Te Deum, that there is a True
Briton, of so much disinterested merit at the help of
affairs. That heaven may assist and prosper his most sacred
majesty, and his ministers . . . to bring that haughty,
insolent and perfidious nation to a true sense of
themselves, for the peace and quiet, not only of Europe, but
of the world in general, is the hearty prayer of, yours, &c.
