May It please your Excellency On Consideration had of the
28th Article of the Royal Instructions to your Excellency about
an House or Rent communicated to the House of Delegates
on the 24th June 1714 and by your Excellency's Concurrence
referred to the last Session & from that to this And well
knowing that since there is no House built for a Governour
the want whereof must be a considerable Charge to your
Excellency An Account of which we desire your Excellency
will order to be laid before this House that our Committee of
Accompts may proceed to allow the same, As we can assure
your Excellency the Circumstances of this Province are at
present very low So we hope your Excellency will so far con-
tinue your tender Regard of this Province as not to insist at
present on the Building of an House till the Province is better
Able to raise a Fund for that Purpose, And we should be very
glad that your Excell would be pleased to propose to us
something on that Subject
Signed p order Thos Macnemara Cl Ho Del.
Which being read at the Board his Excellency in answer
thereto was pleased to write to Mr Speaker viz
Council Chamber
May 16th 1715
Mr Speaker I desire you will inform the House that I
think It both for the Honour & Interest of the Province if a
Suitable Reception was provided for your Governour, But as
I am Convinc'd the good Inclinations of the People to me on
this particular are Sincere And that their Abilitys cannot come
up at this time to their kind Intentions I shall be contented to
Share their present Circumstances only must leave It to your
