of the Government from me on the 8th of May.

I have therefore to beg respectfully that Your Lordship will be pleased to give the necessary orders for those Gentlemen being paid what is due to them on their furnishing the requisite Abstracts and Receipts.

I trust that Your Lordship will further pardon me for trespassing so far on your time as to do an act of official justice by recording the deep obligation I am under to these Gentlemen for the zeal and alacrity with which they aided me in the discharge of the various and important matters that devolved on me.

To Mr. Burgess I may observe, I was indebted for the most essential advice and assistance in his capacity as Legal Adviser, as well as in the drafting and preparation of the various Ordinances (both in the Colonial and Superintendents Departments) which I had occasion to enact. I hope I do not exceed my province when I solicit Your Lordship, solely on public grounds, to place Mr. Burgess' name on the list of legal Gentlemen who are willing and anxious to be employed in the Colonies. I feel quite sure that he will give satisfaction to Her Majesty's Government in any situation in which he may be placed; otherwise I would not venture to intrude this recommendation in his favour.
