Gentlemen of the Lower House of Assembly
I am obliged to you for having ordered to be entered on your
Journals all the Letters and other Papers that passed on the Occasion
mentioned in my Message of the 13^th Instant, particularly the Two
Letters from Edmund Jenings and Levin Gale, Esquires, to their
Clerks, which I thought very necessary to show the Sense those
Gentlemen had of the Two Orders of Council of the first of August
and 11^th of October, last and which to prevent all mistakes, they
Order'd to be communicated to Doctor Carroll and M^r Denton
And if none of the abovementioned Letters and Papers are yet
printed in the Votes and Proceedings of your House, I hope you will
Order them to be Printed all together, that every Body may see at
one View all that has passed, relating to an Affair, that has been so
much talked of.
