By the HOUSE of DELEGATES, December 28, 1799.
        GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE,
    WE return you the bill, entitled, An act respecting a partition of the estate of John Davidson,
deceased, and hope upon reconsideration it will pass your house.  We are not apprised of
the reasons that influenced you in rejecting the bill, but presume its interfering with the rights of
minors, and an apprehension of its counteracting the location of the federal city, must have been
the cause.  As there are but two minors, and the gentleman who has intermarried with one is
anxious for the law, and as we think the provisions of the bill are so modified as to be protective
of the rights of infants, we again solicit your attention to the subject.  To obviate any objections
which may arise from an idea of obstructing in any way the execution of the plan and location of
the city, we are willing it should not take effect without the concurrence of the commissioners of
the federal buildings, so far as the location of lanes and alleys is contemplated in the said bill,
but as we consider the interest of the individuals may be materially promoted by the passage of
the bill, we hope upon reconsideration you will pass it under such restrictions and provisions as
may be thought proper.
