Autograph letter signed from George Lyttelton, Baron Lyttelton, London, to Dr. Doddridge [manuscript], 1750 March 27.

1 item.

The affairs of New Jersey are before the Council and the Board of Trade, but as a lord of the Treasury he cannot help to forward Mr. Allen's application. He knows little of Mr. [Robert Hunter] Morris beyond the fact that his father [Lewis Morris] was considered here to have been a fine governor of New Jersey, and was ill used by the province on that account for (whatever your friends may tell you) the people there have not the respect and regard they ought to have for their Mother Country, but affect so much independence. He wishes Mr. Belcher may not have acted with too much complacence. Refers to the sermon he has printed on occasion of the late earthquakes.
