Sterling Castle, July 29, 1794 - To the Worthy and Independent Freeholders of the Parish of St. Thomas in the Vale: Mr. Whitehorne having intimated to me his positive intention of resigning his seat in the Assembly, at the particular request of a number of my friends, I am induced to offer myself a Candidate for your choice, in the event of such a circumstance taking place. A long residence in this parish, and being known to almost every individual among you, create a hope that my standing forward upon this occasion will not be considered an unwarrantable intrusion. Unconnected with party, I stand a Candidate for your favour not the basis of my own merit as a man; should I, therefore, be so fortunate as to become the free and unbiased choice of my Brother Freeholders, I shall accept their delegation with gratitude, and assure them no exertions, on my part, shall be wanting for the good of this parish and the island in general. I remain, Gentlemen, Your most obedient humble Servant, Thomas Dance.
