Gentl. In Answer to your Message by M^r Tyler and M^r
Ennalls, we can assure you that the Address you say you made
her Majesty in the Year 1 709 in full Answer to S^r Thomas
Lawrence's Complaint if ever committed to our Care was
transmitted to the Lords Comm^rs of Trade and Plantations

or not or that it ever was presented to her Majesty seeing we
have no Agent in Great Britain to transact Affairs on Behalf
of the Province we cannot say
