To the Planters and Merchants of the Colonies of Essequebo and Demerary, who have been pleased to Honor me with an Address.
GENTLEMEN!
I have been favored with your Address, communicating to me your approbation of my Conduct, during the time I had the Honor to hold the Civil and Military Command, of the valuable Colonies of Demerary and Essequebo.
So flattering a mark of attention from a Body so truly respectable is most gratifying to me, and will most gratefully live in my remembrance,
To a Soldier, the present of a Sword, you have Honored me with, is most valuable, and I shall feel inexpressible [sic] satisfaction wielding it in your Defence.
Permit me to assure you, that the Hospitality and Attention I have received from you, has made an impression not to be erased from my mind; and tho' Duty calls me from you to the colony of Berbice, I still hope to revisit the Colonies of Demerary and Essequebo and renew those happy days I have passed in your Society.
The Welfare and Prosperity of the Colonies has ever been nearest my heart. - That the Planting and Commercial Interests of them my flourish to your utmost expectation is the fervent wish of your most obliged Friend
and faithfull Humble Servant, Robt. Nicholson.
Lieut. Colonel 1st Battalion of the Royals.
