To the honble the Upper house of Assembly
We having been appointed by Your Honours to join the Members
nominated by the Lower house in a Committee for framing an
Address of Condolence and Congratulation to the Kings most
excellent Majesty in pursuance of the Governors Recommendation,
do report that we met the Members of the Lower House and pro-

following Clause Viz. But may it please your Majesty to indulge
Us, destitute as we are of the proper means of Obtaining Access
to the Throne, while We make Use of this Opportunity of humbly
expressing Our Concern, that this Province has during the present
just and necessary War contributed so little to the Service of our
late most Gracious Sovereign, and our Confidence that until a full
Enquiry be made into the Causes thereof which we most earnestly
desire, and the People shall be permitted to raise a Support for an
Agent, who may lay all the Grievances which they suffer under the
Government of their Lord Proprietary properly before your Majesty,
You will be graciously pleased to continue that favourable Opinion,
which We hope you have hitherto entertained of the Protestant
Inhabitants of the Province of Maryland; than whom permitt Us,
Royal S.r to Say, your Majesty has not in all your Dominions
Subjects more Loyal more hearty Welwishers to our present happy
Establishment, or more firmly or affectionately attached to your
most sacred Person and Government. To which Addition, for
Reasons too Obvious to be mentioned, We could not agree but
Submit the Same to the Consideration of this House.
