I ever am, with great regard, sir, Your most obedient humble servant, LOUDOUN.
Secretary William Pitt, to the Governor and Company of Rhode Island.
Whitehall, 7th December, 1756.
Gentlemen :- The King having been graciously pleased to appoint me his prinei- pal secretary of state for the southern department, in the room of Mr. Fox, I am to desire that you would, for the future, address your letters to me, which I shall not fail to lay regularly before His Majesty, and to transmit to you such orders and in- structions as the King shall think proper for your guidance and direction.
You will see His Majesty's sentiments on the present situation of public affairs, in the enclosed most gracious speech, with which the King opened the Parliament on Thursday, the 2d instant. I also enelose you the address which the Houses have presented in answer thereto.
I am, gentlemen, your most obedient servant, W. PITT. To the Governor and Company of Rhode Island.
Lord Loudoun to Governor Hopkins.
New York, 22d December, 1756.
Sir :- I did propose to have been at Boston, on the 6th of January, but the public business here bas kept me longer than I expected, which has obliged me to defer it till Thursday, January 13th, at which time, I desire that a meeting may be held there, of the Governors and commissioners of the several New Eng- land governments.
For several reasons, I shall not have it in my power to communicate the whole of my plan for the next campaign ; and a very material one of these reasons is, that I have some time ago transmitted my plan for His Majesty's approbation, so that the principal point which I propose to settle with the governments, is, what aid they will afford me in the next campaign, for the general service.
This point, I hope you will not seruple fully to empower your commissioners to agree to, without making any return to their constituents for confirmation ; and I am hopeful you will do it, as otherwise we shall not be ready early enough in the spring ; the consequence of which, you must know, from the experience of the last two years.
571
AND PROVIDENCE PLANTATIONS.
1756.]
At the same time, I think it necessary that whilst we are in conference, the As- semblies should also be sitting, and as near to the town of Boston as the situation of each colony and the rules of the governments will permit, as things may occur which will require having recourse to them ; yet I should hope the powers they will give, may prevent any necessity for that delay, as the different things I have to settle, and the distance of the places where those things are to be done, hardly leaves it in my power to finish the whole before the campaign must begin.
I have the honor to be, with great regard, sir, Your most obedient humble servant,
To the Hon. Stephen Hopkins, Esq. LOUDOUN.
