I inclose another set of what I have printed, lest ye one I sent before may have miscarried. I am, Your Excellency's very obliged Humble Servant, W™ Weyman.

A very laudable Spirit for promoting the Welfare of this Colony, begins to prevail here--A Society is already formed, consisting of Persons of all Ranks, who propose to advance husbandry, promote Manufactures, and suppress Luxury--Several Hundred Pounds are already subscribed, and paid into the Hands of Mr. John Vanderspiegel, the Treasurer--Other necessary Officers are appointed, and several Committees formed for the good Ends more fully explained in the Public Papers now inclosed.
