Description by Evan D. Jones:

'General causes - Want of confidence in honesty & capablities of Magistrates & Trustees & Clergy; this letter has caused dissent. Land let higher in consequence of so much more competition than in England. Farmers' sons must mostly all be farmers - difference in language preventing them from migrating. Magistrates were not consulted generally on appointment of new commissions.'
