Excerpt from Correspondence Between William Penn and James Logan, Secretary of the Province of Pennsylvania, and Others, 1700-1750, Vol. 2: From the Original Letters in Possession of the Logan Family I know not what the advancing season, that stirs up humors as certainly in man as in vegetables, may produce, but this past winter we have, as I said in my last, been very quiet, tho' I expect but little good from the present representatives till an other election, - the honest being so much out-voted by the men of deep designs or shallow sense, the others' properties. Richard Hough,1 one Of the best in the House, was, about three weeks ago, unfortunately overset in a Wherry, coming down the river, and, with two other persons, lost his life; the rest were saved. He is much lamented by all that knew him and understand the value of a good man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
