be promoted and encouraged, Consistent with the Laws of Great
Britain; to which your Excellency may be assured, We shall on this,
and every other Occasion, pay the greatest Regard; and we flatter
ourselves your Excellency is Satisfied, that nothing will be wanting
on our parts to provide for the payment of the Militia and other
Persons, that have Claims on the Publick, as soon as their respective
Accounts can be adjusted.
Sensible of the Truth of Your Excellency's Observation, that,
without Harmony between the Several Branches of the Legislature,
our Meetings here can be of no real Benefit or Utility to our Country,
we take the Liberty to assure you, that we continue both disposed
and resolved to cultivate it and to do every Thing on our Parts, that
can tend to promote the Welfare of the Province, which it must ever
be our true Interest and earnest Desire to advance,
5th October 1763 Benjamin Tasker President
