7 April 1812

Rough draft of address of Assembly to Lieutenant Governor in answer to his message re: quit-rents (in No. 34). Assembly cannot comply with the King's conditions because the inhabitants have always been free from taxation for a state church, and because the majority of Nova Scotians would object to the Assembly providing for the support of the Anglican church , whose doctrines they do not profess. The collection of quit-rents would be a great burden to the inhabitants.
