To the worthy free burgesses of the antient borough of Colchester. : Gentlemen, Having been nominated at a very respectable Meeting of the Free Burgesses of Colchester, as a proper Candidate to represent this Borough in Parliament upon the present Vacancy, permit me humbly to request the Favor of your Vote and Interest at the ensuing Election. Should I be so happy as to meet with your Approbation, you may be assured that no Exertions of mine shall be wanting, to preserve the Independent Freedom of this Corporation inviolable. The Honor I have received this Day in the public Declaration of your worthy Recorder in my Favour, together with the generous Countenance of a great Part of the Body corporate, give me the most flattering Hopes of Success. Believe me Gentlemen, the Confidence you may repose in me shall never be abused. I come forward upon Independent Principles, which I pledge myself uniformly to support, and ever to stand forth in Defence of your Constitutional Rights and Liberties. I have the Honor to be, with great respect, Your faithful and obedient servant, Christopher Potter. Colchester, Oct. 4, 1781.
