By the HOUSE of DELEGATES, January 2, 1807.
Gentlemen of the Senate,

WE perceive with regret that you have returned the resolution passed this house in favour of Jubb Fowler
dissented from. We flatter ourselves that on reconsideration you will agree to the resolution, especially when
you take into consideration the confidential situation in which he has been placed for twenty-five years past,
the faithful manner in which he has discharged the duties of his double station of door-keeper and messenger,
the labour incident to the discharge thereof, the advanced age of the memorialist, and the immense increase in
the expence of living since the establishment of his salary. We therefore return the resolution to you, in
expectation that on its reconsideration you will agree with us in opinion, that under all circumstances the addi-
tion proposed by us to the salary of the memorialist is but just and reasonable.

By order, J, BREWER, clk.
