Gentlemen of the Lower House of Assembly,
I return you Thanks for your Address, and the Professions you
are pleased to make, that you will, at this Time, exert your Endeav-
ours to comply with his Majesty's Royal Expectations, and the
Requisition of his General; The Sincerity of which Professions you

for the Censure contained in the Secretary of State's Letter.
