The Governor is Pleased to Communicate to this House his Answer
to the Address of this House which is as follows
Gentlemen of the Upper House of Assembly
Be pleased to Accept my grate full acknowledgements for your
obliging Address, Your observation that nothing less than the most
Vigorous and joint Efforts of all His Majestys Colonies can Check
the Progress of our Ambitious and Mercyless Enemies is most Just
and I am perswaded that you will Chearfully Contribute all in your
Power to the Success of every undertaking whereby the Security
and welfare of this Province as well as His Majestys Service may
be promoted
Though I cannot assume any Merit from the Journy, which a de-
sire of Serving the Frontier Inhabitants Prompted me to undertake
on the unhappy Occasion mentioned in the latter part of your Address
yet it gives me the greatest Satisfaction to find the People of Mary-
land have by any Means Escaped the Miseries and Calamities which
the neighbouring Colonies have Suffered
