Gentlemen
In Answer to your Message with the return of the Bill, for
Securing the Western Frontiers We must observe to you that such
return after a Negative passed by this house is irregular; We should
have been very ready to have explained ourselves as to the particular
Objections We thought the Bill justly liable to, if you had desired
us so to do in the usual Method of Proceedings between the two
houses and We Assure you that We are so Sensible of the dangers
to which our fellow Subjects on the Western Frontiers are exposed,
that we shall be glad to Agree with you on a Bill for their Security,
and hope you will find a proper Expedient for that purpose.
Signed p Order John Ross Cl Up H.^o
