U. H. J.

The following Message is prepared and sent to the Lower house
by Charles Calvert Esq^r Viz.

By the Upper house of Assembly October the 25^th 1727.
Gentlemen
We have Consider'd your message by M^r Stourton and five
more whereby you Declare your Dislike to the Squirrell Law pro-
pos'd by us which we still beleeve would prove the most Effectuall
method for the purpose it is Design'd and that if the remaining
part of the winter should prove Severe the Charge of Destroying
Squirrells will not amount to near a moyety of your Computacon
and would every year be greately lessned so that after a few years
moderate Expence the allowance for destroying them will be very
trifling in Comparison of the great advantage the Country in
Generall will certainly reap thereby and tho' the burthen at first
may lie heavy on some yet as their neighbours will reap the Advan-
tage and the Tobacco yet Circulate among us we hope you will be
induced to pass the Law as we propose but if your house should
yet Decline assenting to the same this house are rather inclined and
Determined not to Consent to any Law on this head.
Sign'd p order Geo. Plater Cl. Upp. Ho.
