James Duane describes how he is overwhelmed with his business at the moment, and airs some frustrations regarding New York's political situation:"Timidity has induced the Colony to make a most unreasonable sacrifice to the Massachusett's bay. I fear these people will spread over the whole continent and however pleased they may be with themselves, they will not mind the political or relijious principls-if Candour and Truth are Religious principles-." He notes, however, that he must be patient and "stick to my Law."
