We are fully sensible of the many and great blessings which under Divine Providence are secured to us by your Majesty's paternal care, and as we could not but experience considerable solicitude for the arrival of the hour which would bring back to us our beloved Sovereign in health and safety, so we most ardently join in the general joy at your return. The shield of Providence has been over you. Long may your Majesty wield the Imperial Sceptre of these realms, under the Divine Protection; long may you preserve the glory and prosperity of the country, and enjoy the consolation of ruling over a free, loyal and happy people. Signed, by order of Court, Henry Woodthorpe.

The City of London may confidently rely upon my constant favour and protection; and I humbly trust, that a gracious Providence will assist and prosper my earnest endeavours to promote the true interests and happiness of my people."
