To B.Bishop G.Gordon “AugtAugust 31. 1773. Upon seeing a print
of THE QUEEN OF HEARTS.

Longseem’dLong Seemed Despair &and Fear, wtwith fiercest Rage,

To blot the Annals of the coming Age;

But now with Joy, the Sons of Freedom see

Their long lost Hopes &and Wishes live in Thee.

N.B. The above appears in our News-Pa-
pers &and Magazines here; &and ‘tis hoped, it
may do so in those of London.

The print is nobly design’ddesigned, &and hand-
somely executed.
Deus sit tecum tuisque. Amen.”
