The Lower House. 85


Sent up to his Excellency and Council by Mr Muschamp and
Mr Beale.
They return and say they delivered the same.
His Excys Message by Mr Tench of the first of April 1707
relating to Mr Dinner's Proposals was again read and ordered
to be entered Viz.

By his Excellency the Governor and Council April Ist 1707.

In Reply to the House's Request by Mr Muschamp and Mr
Mackall desiring to know by what Methods Mr Dumer pro-
posed to render his Packet Boats useful to this Province or
what Satisfaction he would require therefor we give you to
understand that Mr Dumer proposes to put the same Method
in Practice of sending his Packet Boats to the Continent as now
used to the West Indies so that the Merchants Letters will
come to us at the Rate of Eight Pence a single Letter and six-
teen Pence a double one. The said Mr Dumer makes his Pro-
posals to all the Neighbouring Governments and if they close
with him he will set on foot otherwise it will not be worth his
while; so that if we encourage the said Mr Dumer by writing
him we are willing to embrace his Offers on those Terms it
will be a means to promote it otherwise a total Discouragement
which would be great Pity.
Signed p Order W. Bladen Cl. Co.

House will agree to the Proposals or not? Carryed by Major-
ity of Votes that this House will not agree thereto.
