After four years of strenuous labor Phillip was forced to leave the work he had so well begun.
Governor Phillip To Lord Grenville
Sydney, 21st November, 1791
My Lord,
I am honored with your Lordship's letter of the 19th of February in answer to mine to Lord Sydney, and beg leave to assure your Lordship that I should not hesitate a moment in giving up my private affairs to the public service; but from a complaint which so very frequently puts it out of my power to use that exercise which my situation requires and the present state of this colony, in which I believe every doubt respecting its future independency as to the necessaries of life
is fully done away, I am induced to request permission to resign the Government, that I may return to England in hopes of finding that relief which this country does not afford.
I have, etc.
A. Phillip.
