By the House of Delegates
September the 3oth 1704
We having Settled the Journal of Accounts find therein
Tobo due to his Excy for the great Seal and otherwise we
therefore Desire to know whether it will be more accept-
able to his Excy to have the Tobo in specie or mony for the
same out of the treasure of this Province at one penny p pound
And that since there is Mony in Bank and the publick Levy
like to be very high and hard upon the poorer sort we Pro-
pose to pay the honble Council and Delegates of this Session
some part of their hundred and forty pounds of Tobo p diem
in mony at one penny p pound if your Honours are pleased
to Concur with us therein which we desire because it is hard
to procure mony to bear our Expences here
Signed p order W Taylard Cl Ho Del

lowing Message
