TitleJohn Pownall to [Lord Dartmouth], Whitehall
Date15 Aug 1775
DescriptionHas not yet heard anything more of Mr Penn or of the petition he is said to bring, is anxious to see this petition as he is much worried about the proclamation which he wished postponed till his Lordship's return to town, but Lord North desired to see the draft thereof to send to the Attorney and Solicitor General for revision, so sent it to Mr Robinson who today returns it with the enclosed note, intends giving the note and proclamation to Lord Suffolk tomorrow and proposing that publication thereof should be deferred until Mr Penn's petition has been seen

Enclosure, Attorney General [Edward Thurlow] to John Robinson [13 Aug 1775], Sunday morning, agrees with the measure proposed in the proclamation and sees no objection to its publication
