Gentn
Upon reading your written Message by Coll Hoskins and
others His Excellcy the Governor is pleased to say that he has
not reced Judiciall notice of the death of the Right Honble the
Lord Propriary nor any from his Guardian of what Steps the
present Sessions of Parliament in Great Brittaine have made
towards his most Sacred Majestyes reassuming the Proprietary
Government in America.
But since it is the request of your house that the Assembly
should be prorogued to some further time therefore to p'vent
any Inconveniency that may arise from the uncertainty you
seeme to be in upon the above Reports, and so frustrate the
good Intention of the meeting of this Assembly and put the
Country to an unnecessary charge, His Excellcy with the
Advice of his Council will prorogue this Assembly to a
further and proper time.
Signed p Ordr W Bladen Cl Upp ho.
