Upper house November 2^d 1682.
This house having read a Message from the Lower house
dated the first Instant relating to a Vote of this house dated
30th October last past; by which this house Voted Twelve
pounds of Tobacco p Poll to be given to Coll: Henry Coursey
and Coll: Philemon Loyd for their effectual care in the Nego-
tiation with the Northern Indians, and their Good Husbandry
of the Publick Money; this house do a little Wonder why the
Lower house have waved the way by us proposed to raise the
said Gratuity, and given a less Testimony of their good like-
ing of their Proceedings then this house have done, when they
must have paid the Expence of those Gentlemen had it been

more than it is, And therefore Considering the Good Hus-
bandry of those Gentlemen, the Effectuall Prosecution of their
Negotiation and the Good Correspondence that ought to be
Maintained Between these two houses, We desire the Lower
house will reassume the Debate of that Business, and Concurr
with this house in giving the said Gentlemen Twelve pounds
of Tobacco p Poll, which this house think they well Deserve
and is so small a Matter more than what the Lower house
propound for a reward of Honourable and Successfull En-
deavours for Our peace and Tranquility
