Places during Pleasures, this Establishment ap-
pears big with fatal Evils, so obvious that it is
needless to trespass on your Excellency's Time
in mentioning them.
It is therefore the humble and earnest Re-
quest of the Town, that your Excellency would
be pleased to inform them, Whether you have
received any such Advice, relating to a Matter
so deeply interesting to the Inhabitants of this
Province, which gives you Assurance that such
an Establishment has been, or is likely, to
be made.
(No. II.)
The GOVERNORS's ANSWER to the
foregoing MESSAGE.
GENTLEMEN,
IT is by no Means proper for me to lay before
the Inhabitants of any Town whatsoever, in
Consequence of their Votes and Proceedings in a
Town-Meeting, and Part of my Correspondence
as Governor of the Province, or to acquaint them
whether I have or have not received any
Advices relating to the public Affairs of the
Government. This Reason alone, if your Ad-
dress to me had been other Respects unexcep-
tionable, would have been sufficient to restrain
me from complying with your Desire.
