Nova Scotia House of Assembly Petitions and Correspondence

16 July 1804

Draft answer from the House in reply to the Governor's Message. They thank the Governor for the information contained in the forgoing message, and state that "previous to receiving that Message" they "had voted sums of Money for the repairing of Roads and Bridges in which the most of the sums contained in Your Excellency’s intended distribution were included" and that those votes "have been sent to His Majesty’s Council for their Concurrence and now remain with them." Another paragraph of the same tenor as their message to Council is added, but was omitted in final message, for which see Assembly Journal p. 42.
