Nevertheless, the delegates of the said colonies assembled in another Congress at Philadelphia, anxious to procure a reconciliation with Great Britain upon just and constitutional principles, supplicated His Majesty to direct some mode by which the united applications of his faithful colonists might be improved into a happy and permanent reconciliation, that in the meantime measures might be taken for preventing the further destruction of their lives, and that such statures as immediately distressed any of the colonists might be repealed."
