Graham writes of the "old unhappiness" of ill-ease and a lack of desire to pay taxes, which has spread throughout the colonies and created disunity among the colonists, especially on the king's plantations, leaving New York as "constrained to bear without grumbling" this affliction. Docketed on address leaf.
