given you any Reason to hope that we were inclined to agree to a
general and free Conferrence with you on the whole Bill as you
proposed by your Message of yesterday, this we apprehend to be
inconsistent with our Rights, and it was always far from our
Intention, and therefore we cannot accept your Proposal : however
that nothing may be wanting on our Part that can be reasonably
desired of us and that we may further manifest the earnest Desires
we have so often repeated to promote to the utmost of our Power
every Thing that might contribute at this important Crisis to bring
about the Passage of a Bill, on which the Honour & Credit of the
Province & the Safety and Tranquillity of the People so greatly
depend, we shall agree to a Conference upon the Subject Matter of
your Objections mentioned in your Message of 18.th April last,
as was done in the Case of the £40,000 : Bill, and that no Time may
be lost we have named Col : Tilghman M.r Matthew Tilghman, M.r
Murdock M.r Lloyd, M.r Carroll and M.r Edward Dorsey to join
such Members your Honors may be pleased to name for that
Purpose.
