His Excellency is pleased to communicate his answer to the
Address of this house in the following words

Gentlemen of the Upper House of Assembly
I return you my hearty thanks for your kind Address as I was
much assisted by your own wise Councils in my Endeavours to pre-
vent the Exportation of Grain which might have been of such fatal
Consequence to the good people of this Province so I flatter my
Self the same good Advice & Assistance will never be wanting to
me Whenever the Prosperity of Maryland is in any manner con-
cerned
