Gentlemen
We have thought fit to propound to your House before
we pass the Bill for adding part of Baltemore to Ann Arun-
dell County that it seems to us very reasonable In order to
Marge Calvert County now setled by a small Number of
Inhabitants that that part of Ann Arundell County which
includes the South Side of Lyons Creek branch as far as
Abraham Symonds Plantation leaveing his house and Or-

U. H. J.

chard in Ann Arrundell County and running with an East-
erly line to the head of Parkers branch and from thence
down Parkers branch to Herring Creek Includeing the South
Side in Calvert County and the North Side in Ann Arrundell
County be added thereto which will greatly ease the Inhab-
itants of the said County and not lessen Ann Arrundel by a
Considerable number so much as the said County will be In-
creased by the Addition they will receive from Baltemore.
Signed p Order Geo Plater Cl Up Ho.

May it please Your Honours
Forasmuch as there has been no Application from the In-
habitants of Calvert County nor from the lower part of this
County for the Division proposed in your Message this day

such Division and therefore desire your Honours will be
pleased to pass the Bill as it now stands
