My Lord
I Did myself the Honour of answering Your Lordship's of the
2^d June by Duplicates of the 17^th instant sent by severall Convey-
ances.
My earnestness to act agreable to your Lordship's Pleasure In,
gages me to trouble Your Lordship on Points, which perhaps may
never Happen, In order That I may be apprized of your Lordship's
resolution, In case They should be stirred.
It is with this view, That I now mention the Governour's House :
The walls are built, the Roof is on & Covered; But the Money al-
lotted, is so greatly deficient, That the Governour has already ex-
pended a Considerable Sume out of His own Pockett: Should The
Assembly be inclinable to reimburse The Govern^r and finish the
House by a Continuance of the ordinary Licence (which is now ap-
propriated to replace the money advanced for our Forces sent to the
West Indies) for y^r purpose only, Must we agree to it?
I Hope to receive as soon as possible (agreeable to my late Let-
ters) Your Lordship's Directions as to the Sitting of the Assembly,
which is to meet The I^st Tuesday of next May. I am My Lord
Your Lordships Most obliged & Faithfull Hble servant
