Most Gracious Sovereign:

We, your Majesty' s most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Mayor, Aldermen, Freemen, and principal Inhabitants of the Borough of Helleston, in the County of Cornwall, most humbly beg leave to approach the throne, and, uninfluenced by any other motives than those of duty and loyalty to our Sovereign, to declare our utmost abhorrence and detestation of the unnatural rebellion which some of your Majesty' s Provinces in North-America have lately entered into, fomented by the arts of evil and designing men, and to testify to your Majesty our entire approbation of and confidence in those measures which are pursuing for bringing these deluded people to a return of their duty; for which purpose, we, amidst the rest of our loyal fellow subjects, do hereby make a tender of our faithful services to your Majesty.

Given under our hands and the common seal of the said Borough, this twenty-eighth day of October, one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five.
