[W Paca in Council to Mathew Ridley Esq^r]

We have been honored with yours of the 14^th of October last,
enclosing sundry Papers relative to the Contracts you had entered
into on Behalf of this State. The Letter you refer to, of the 31^st
July, we have not yet received, and consequently, we are still in Want
of some material Information respecting your Negotiations. How-
ever, such Papers as we were possessed of, we laid before the General
Assembly, immediately upon the Receipt of your last; and we have
now the Honor to enclose you their Resolutions on the Subject, which
being full and explicit, it is unnecessary for us to subjoin any Obser-
vations.
