''Most Gracious Sovereign'',

WE your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons, in Parliament assembled, return to your Majesty our humble thanks, for the communication your Majesty has been graciously pleased to make to your Parliament, of several papers, relative to public transactions, in your Majesty's province of Massachusetts-Bay.

We beg to express to your Majesty our sincere satisfaction in the measures which your majesty has pursued, for supporting the constitution and for inducing a due ovedience to the authority of the legislaturel and to give your Majesty the strongest assurances, that we will essectually??? stand by and support your Majesty, in such further measures as may be found necessary to maintain the civil Magistrates in a due execution of the laws within your Majesty's province of Massachusetts-Bay. And as we conceive that nothing can be immediately necessary, either for the maintenance of your Majesty's authority in the said province, or for guarding your Majesty's subjects therein from being furthe rdeduced by the arts of wicked and designing men, than to proceed in the most speedy and effectual manner, for bringing to condign??? punishment the chief authors and ??? of the late disorders; we humbly beseach your Majesty, that you will be graciously pleased to direct your Majesty's Governor of Massachusetts-Bay, to take the most effectual methods for procuring the fullest information that can be obtained, touching all treasons, misprisions, of teason commited within his government, since the thirtieth day of December, one thousand seven hundred and sixty-seven, and to transmit the same, together with the names of the persons who were most active in the commission of such offenses, to one of your Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, in order that your Majesty may issue a special commission, for enquiring of, hearing, and determining the said offenses, within this realm, pursuant to the provisions of the statute of the thirty-fifth year of the reign of King Genry the eight, in case your Majesty shall, upon receiving the said information, see sufficient ground for such a proceeding.

:GEORGE WYHTE C.H.B.
To the King's Most Excellent Majesty:
THE ???? ADDRESS of his dutiful and loyal subjects, the house of Burgesses of his Majesty's ??? ??? Virginia, met in General Assembly.
??? MAJESTY,

WE your Majesty's most loyal, dutiful, and affectionate subjects, the house of Burgesses of this your Majesty's colony of Virginia, ??? met in General Assembly, be leave, in the humblest manner, to assure your Majesty, that your faithful subjects of this colony, ever distinguished by their loyalty, and firm attachment to your Majesty, and your Royal ancestors, far from your countenancing traitors, treasons or misprisions of treason, are ready, at any time, to sacrifice our lives and fortunes in defense of your Majesty's sacred person and government.

It is with the deepest concern, and most heartfel grief, that your Majesty's dutiful subjects of this colony, find that their loyalty hath been traduced, and that those measures which a just regard for the British constitution (dearer to them than life) made necessary duties, have been misrepresentated as rebellious attacks upon your Majesty's government.

When we consider that by the established laws and constitution of this colony, the most ample provision is made for apprehending and punish ??? those who shall dare ??? any treasonable practices against your Majesty, or disturb the tranquility of government, we cannot without horror think of the new, unusual, and permit us with all humility, to add, unconstitutional and illegal mode, recommended to your Majesty, of seizing carrying beyond sea, the inhabitants of America suspected of any crime; and of trying such persons in any other manner than by the antient and long established course of proceeding: For how truly deplorable must be the cafe of a wretched American, who, having incurred the displeasure of any one in power, is dragged from his native home, and his dearest domestic connections, thrown into a prison,
</blockquote>

===Page 2===
<blockquote>

not to await his trial before a court, jury, or judges, from a knowledge of whom he is encouraged to hope for speedy justice but to exchange his imprisonment in his own court??? for letters amongst strangers; conveyed to a distant land, where no friend, norelation, will alleviate his distresses, or minister to his necessities; and where no witness can be found to testify his innocence; shunned by the reputable and honest, and consigned to the society and converse of the wretched and the abandoned; he can only pray that he may soon end his misery with his life.

Truly alarmed at the fatal tendency of these pernicious counsels, and with hearts filled with anguish by such dangerous invasions of our dearest privileges, we presume to prostrate ourselves at the foot of your Royal throne, beseeching your Majesty, as our King and father, to avert from your faithful and loyal subjects of America, those miseries which must necessarily be the consequence of such measures. After expressing our firm confidence in your Royal wisdom and goodness, permit us to assure your Majesty, that the most fervent prayers of your people of this colony are daily addressed to the Almighty, that your Majesty's reign may be long and prosperous over Great-Britain and all your dominions, and that after death, your Majesty may taste the fullest fruition of eternal bliss, and that a descendent[sic] of your illustrious House may reign over the extended British empire until time shall be no more.

<blockquote>
An act to repeal so much of the several acts
of Assembly therein mentioned as impose a
land and poll tax on the inhabitants of
this colony for the year 1768 and 1769.

WHEREAS by an act of the General Assembly made on the 4th day of March, in the 33d year of the reign of his late Majesty King George II. entitled An act for granting the sum of 20,000 l. for the further security and protection of this colony, it was, amongst other things, enacted that a tax of 1s. 3d. for every hundred acres of land, and after that rate for a greater or lesser quantity, should be paid by the owner or proprietor thereof on or before the 10th of day of April 1767, and the further tax or duty of 1s. 3d. for every hundred acres of land, and after that rate for a greater or lessor quantity, should be paid in like manner by the owner or proprietor thereof, on or before the 10th day of April 1768. to the sheriff of the county wherein such land should lie, and that a tax or duty of 2s. should be paid for every tithable person in this colony to the sheriff of the county where such person should be enlisted, by the person enlisting such tithable, on or before the said 10th day of April 1768, to be collected and accounted for in such manner as by the said act is prescribed; and whereas by one other act of the same Assembly made the 19th day of May, in the year aforesaid, entitled An act for raising the sum of 32,000l. for the relief of the garrison of Fort Loudoun, in the Cherokee country, it was, amongst other things, enacted that an additional tax of 9d. for every hundred acres of land, and after that rate for a greater or lesser quantity, should be paid by the owner or proprietor thereof, on or before the 10th day of April, in each of the years 1767 and 1768, and that the further additional tax of 1s. 3d. for every hundred acres of land, and after that rate for a greater or lesser quantity, should be paid by the owner or proprietor thereof, on or before the 10th day of April 1769, and that an additional tax or duty of 2s. should be paid for every tithable person in this colony to the sheriff of the county where such person should be enlisted, by the person enlisting the same, on or before the said 10th day of April 1768, and that the further additional tax or duty of 3s. for every such tithable person should be paid in like manner, on or before the 10th day of April 1769, to be paid, collected, and accounted for, in the manner prescribed by the said act; and whereas by the report of the committee appointed to examine into the state of the funds arising from the several taxes heretofore imposed by different acts of the General Assembly, and appropriated to the redemption of the Treasury notes, it appears that there has already been collected of the inhabitants of this colony a sum nearly equal tot he whole emission of Treasury notes from the year 1754 to the year 1762 inclusive, the balance which will remain due from the country, after deducting the debt due from the estate of John Robinson, Esq; late Treasurer of this colony, and the arrears in the hands of the several collectors, for which security hath been given to the publick, amounting to 294l. 2s. 8d. and no more, which balance, together with any deficiency which may arise from insolvencies, or any other accidents, it is judged that the duty on tobacco the taxes on wheel carriages, writs, and ordinary licenses, which by law are to be continued for two years, will be abundantly sufficient to make good, so that the land and poll tax imposed by the above in part recited acts of Assembly, and which were to be paid and collected in the present and the succeeding year, may and ought to cease, which will be a great relief to the people in the present distressed situation of the colony:

Be it therefore enacted by the President, Council, and Burgesses, of this present General Assembly, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, that so much of the above recited acts of Assembly as imposed the tax or duty of 1s. 3d. upon every hundred acres of land, and so in proportion for a greater or lesser quantity, also a tax or duty of 2s. on every tithable person, to be paid on or before the 10th day of April 1768, also the further tax of 9d. for every hundred acres of land and after that rate for a greater or lesser quantity, and the further tax or duty of 2s. for every tithable person, to be paid on or before the same day, and in the same year, also the further tax of 1s. 3d. on every hundred acres of land, and after that rate for a greater or lesser quantity, and the further additional tax or duty of 3s. for every tithable person, to be paid on or before the 10th of April 1769, and so much of all others acts of Assembly as relates to imposing a land and poll tax on the inhabitants of this colony, to be paid and collected in either of the years 1768 and 1769, be, and the same is, and are hereby repealed and made void, to all intents and purposes, as if such acts had never been made.

A true copy.

GEORGE WYTHE , C. H. B.
