The body of lawes you sent over by Mr. Lewger, I endeavored to have ...passed by the assembly at Maryland, but could not effect it, there was so many things unsuitable to the peoples good, and no way conducive to your profit...
 

Others have been passed in the same assembly and now sent unto you which I am persuaded will appear unto you to provide both for your honor and profit, as much as those you sent us, did.
