By the Upp^r House of Assembly
Aprill the 21^st 1720
Gentlⁿ. His Excellency Desires us to Communicate to you
his Letter to this house which is as follows Viz.

Gent. I am Surprized by the reasons Offered by the Lower
House for not Advancing me the money on the 3^d p hh^d I
must Acquaint you I am well informed their Lordships Can-
not Superseede my Comission without the Approbation of
the Crown now his Majesty has not yet Signified his Pleasure
Any Otherways than by his Lycence that I might [return]
for Twelve months for the Recovery of my Health And has
made no pvision but in Case of my Absence which is left at
discretion
It is true M^r Rozier a professed Papist has declared he has
done My Business which is the only notice I have of my
Being Superseeded, now I hope the Comission of a Gov^r of
Maryland does not Depend on that malicious & Insignificant
man. If it does Lord Have mercy on you The Lower House
have Acted very Cautiously as to Saving their mony, But I

shall Leave it to Time to reveale The Consequence of such
Parsimony, tho I cannot help saying I thought I had Deserved
at least so much of Maryland that their representatives might
have done me a favour which I am p swaded no private friend
would have refused me on less Obligations.
