defence and preservation of the Western Frontiers of this Province
at this time attacked and in such eminent danger from our Enemies
the French and Barbarous Indians whose Inhuman Cruelties already
practised on our fellow Subjects must Raise horror in every breast
not utterly void of all Sentiments of Compassion; We declare to
you that notwithstanding what has past between the Two houses on
the Occasion of these Bills we are willing at this critical Juncture to
wave all unnecessary formalities and punctilioes on the mode of our
Proceedings and if you think that a free Conference on the Subject
matter of the Bill may be any means to produce so desireable an
End as we would hope is aimed at by us all or if you can propose
any other more eligible method to remove the objections we have to
the passing of this Bill we shall readily concur with you and en-
deavour to make such Amendments thereto as are necessary for the
purposes intended by it
