Gentlemen.
We Concurr with your House in approveing the first and
third Articles Agreed on with the printer by the Conferrees ;
But as to the second Article propos'd we think the printing
of the Journalls and other proceedings an unnecessary
Charge to the publick and therefore cannot Agree to it; as
to what you propose relateing to the Character of the printer
his Honour the Governour Informs us that he has already
licenced him to print the Laws as Printer to his Lordship
which we Conceive to be a sufficient distinguishing Character
