Honrd Sir,
As the Agents have prevailed on only about 400 to sign the Petition, the Opposition doe[s] not appear so material as was apprehended, & therefore what I mentioned in my last Lre about your presenting it may not require any Consideration, but I was doubtfull whether their Agent Mr Lock, who served Mr Douglass, might not have some view in carrying the Petition only to Mr Ridley.
