Present as Yesterday
A Message from the Lower house by Messrs Lloyd and Wilkinson

In Answer to Your Message of Yesterday by Richard Lee Esqr

We design to lay the Country under any further Expence upon the
Occasion

Bread We have considered Mr Bayard would draw a Commission,
and therefore enlarged the sum accordingly
