To his Excellency Samuel Ogle Esq^r Governour of Maryland
The humble Address of the Lower House of Assembly

May it please Your Excellency.
We return your Excy Our unfeigned thanks for your readiness
in directing the Account to be laid before us, how the money men-
tioned in Our last Address has been applied, which account we
have received, and is full and Satisfactory: And we beg leave to
embrace this Opportunity to assure your Excellency, that Our
desiring the Account of the said money did not proceed from any
Apprehension that you had misapplied any of it, but because we
conceived it to be our Duty to enquire how any money assessed on the
People we represent, has been disposed of. Your Conduct ever
since this province has had the happiness of being under your ad-
ministration, has been so just in every part of it, as to convince every
Member of this House, that you have the publick wellfare and In-
terest sincerely at heart, And that you detest any thing unbecoming
a Man of Honour and the best of Governours.
Which was read, approved and ordered to be ingrossed.

with, and to know when and where he will receive it, they return and
