Objections you had to our Bill we should have immediately Con-
sidered them and we are perswaded should have found means to
have obviated such as we thought unreasonable and we cannot see
why you might not as well have kept the Bill till you had known
our Result upon that Message as to have sent it then down with a
Negative Nor do we apprehend tho you take it for Granted because
we had refused to Answer your objections when you told us you
had taken Notice of and Particularized only some of them that those
objections not being Removed will Justify your Conduct when by
sending down the Bill with your Negative with the only Message
whereby we could understand you had no more objections to make
to it you precluded us from falling upon any Regular method of
Proceeding which might have brought about the desired Event as
to that Bill
But as we are still Earnestly Desirous to relieve the unhappy
People on our Frontier from their Distresses and to prevent if
possible the desolation of that part of our Country as well as to
demonstrate our willingness to do every thing in our power towards
the Support of his Majestys undoubted Rights to this Continent we
herewith send your Honours another Bill well Calculated for those
important Purposes which we doubt not will meet with your ready
Concurrence
