1205. CHATHAM (Lord), Colonies and.

—When I saw Lord Chatham's bill, I entertained
high hope that a reconciliation could
have been brought about. The difference between
his terms and those offered by our Congress
might have been accommodated, if entered
on by both parties with a disposition to accommodate.—
To Dr. William Small. Washington ed. i, 199. Ford ed., i, 454.
