your Lordship, That as it is the Inequality of the Expence, more than the Expence itself, which occasions Dissatisfaction to the Colonies on which the King's Troops are quarter'd, Whether it would not be proper, in order to obviate this Objection, to appropriate some of the Monies arising from the Revenues of the Crown in America to the Defraying of those Expences for the future. Their being paid out of the Quit Rents, and Duties on various Commodities consum'd in the several Colonies, will make the Burden nearly equal to the Inhabitants of each; which seems but reasonable, as all must be benefitted by the Protection which the King's Forces in America afford. This Appropriation will besides have a Tendency to make the new Duties the less disagreeable; especially in the Middle Colonies, who are chiefly burden'd with the Expences above mention'd. It is, indeed, sometimes urg'd, That the Colonies who have Troops quarter'd on them, are benefitted by the Money they spend, as much, if not more, than they are hurt by the Expence of furnishing them with Necessaries: But this is denied by the People in general, who alledge, that what with the frequent Quarrels and Riots occasioned by the common Soldiers, their Plunderings, and sometimes refusing to pay their Debts, the Ballance is greatly in Disfavor of the Inhabitants among whom they are quartered, if They are to be at that Expence solely.
I have the Honor to be, with great Respect, My
Lord, Your Lordship's most
obedient & most humble Servant
P. S. I am just informed that my Dispatches of Augst 22. did not reach New York till after the Packet had sail'd for England.
