His Excellency the Governor communicated to Mr. Speaker, the
following Message, viz.^t
Gentlemen of the Lower House of Assembly,
Finding by a Letter which I received this Morning from Captain
Dagworthy, that the Garrison at Fort Cumberland is in Want of
Provisions, I advised the Agents thereof, and recommended it to
them to order a Supply thither as soon as possible. In Answer to
the Letter that I writ to those Gentlemen on this Occasion, they tell

p. 46

me, that as the Money which was appropriated by the Act of As-
sembly passed last Session, is entirely expended, it is not in their
Power to make any farther Provision for the Troops in the Pay of
this Province. The evil Consequences that must naturally follow the
Troops being refused Provisions, are so obvious, that you cannot
help perceiving them; and therefore I shall only desire you to take
this Matter into immediate Consideration.
