Gentlemen
In Answer to your Message by Capt. Gordon & M^r Jenings We
are of Opinion that it will be more convenient for all the Members
of both houses to join in presenting the Address to the Governor, by
which it will appear to be done by the Consent of the whole Country,
and thereby gain greater Credit to what shall be proposed relating
to that Affair to our Neighbouring Colony Virginia, with which if
you concur We are ready to present it in the Conference Chamber
Signed p Order John Ross Cl Up Ho.

M^r Speaker attended by all the Members of the Lower house
comes Up to this house, whereupon the honourable Edward Henry
Calvert Esq^r attended by all the Members of both houses presents to
his Excellency the Governor in the Conference Chamber the joint
Address of both houses of the 5^th Instant
The following Message being prepared is sent to the lower house

of our former Messages relating to the Act for preventing the

into this Province, the Reasons of our first Message appearing every
Day more & more obvious
Signed p Order John Ross Cl Up Ho.
