    Mr. McPherson, from the committee, delivers to the speaker the following report:
    THE committee to whom was referred the memorial of John Gassaway, register of wills for
Anne-Arundel county, report, that they have examined the situation of the record books alluded
to by the memorialist, from the year 1738 to 1760, and find them much in want of repair, the
leaves of many of them are loose, and will require transcribing before the books are bound; one
of the records, viz. Liber DD, No. 6 from 1746 to 1748, it will be necessary to transcribe, the
whole volume appearing to be in a perishable situation.  Your committee are of opinion it would
be proper to authorise the register, under the direction of the governor and council, to copy such
parts of the said records as require transcribing, and have the whole, or so many of them as they
may think require it, bound in rough calf; and for this purpose take the liberty of stating the
following resolution:

of the governor and council, to transcribe such parts of hte records in the office of which he
is register as require the same, and have them, together with the records to which they belong,
substantially bound in rough calf; and the governor and council are hereby authorised to draw on
the treasury for payment of the same, at the rate of eight-pence per side.
