mander in Chief in and over the Province of Maryland.
The humble Address of the House of Delegates.

In Answer to your Message of the eleventh Instant, we assure your

before us, consider of some Method to reimburse your Excellency
what Money you may have advanced, to keep on Foot the Ranging
Parties on the Frontier of this Province.
We hope, the Bill now in the Upper House, will immediately be
