May it please Your Excellency
It is with Great Concern We observe from Your kind Speech to
both Houses of Assembly at the Opening of this Session your Excel-
lency's Intention of Returning to Great Brittain; It would have been
a Great Satisfaction to us, if the Air and Climate of this Province
had been so Suitable to your Constitution as to have prevented the
occasion of your Departure from us; But as health is the Greatest
Temporall blessing, We must submit to the Inconveniency of your
absence and Unanimously joyn in Sincerely wishing that your In-
tended Voyage may have the Desired Effect, in restoring you to a
perfect State of Health, And that your Excellency may soon return
to Execute the great Trust reposed in you by His Lordship, in which
you have Acquitted Your selfe with great Justice and Wisdom.
The reason your Excellency has been pleased to Assigne for calling
an Assembly at this time in Order to Joyn with us in Endeavouring
for the real Service of this Province make such Impressions of Grati-
tude upon our minds as must Necessarily induce us to make suitable
returns and use our utmost Endeavours to obtain the benefitts of
your Good Inclinations in favour of our Country.
His Lordships kind Answer to the Joynt Address of both Houses of
Assembly the last Session. We gratefully Accept not in the least
