Sir, His Excellency Governor Tryon's second Letter to your Worship, of the 14th instant, has been laid before the Committee. We flattered ourselves that the sentiments of Respect expressed in Answer to his Excellency's last Letter to your Worship, and the Assurances that his Information from Philadelphia was ill-grounded, would have removed every Suspicion of Injury intended to his Person or Property.

We can with great Truth assure his Excellency, that we are not apprehensive of the least Danger to his Person or Property; and that he may rest assured, of all that Protection from us, and our Fellow-Citizens, which will be consistent with the great Principle of our Safety and Preservation: Declaring, at the same Time, that we have the utmost Confidence in his Excellency's Disposition to serve the true interest of this Colony, and that he will, by his wise and prudent Mediation, use his best Offices to restore that Harmony between Great-Britain and the Colonies so ardently wished for by us. The Committee therefore cannot but again express their most earnest Desire that his Excellency would continue his Residence among a People, who have the most grateful sense of his upright and disinterested Administration.

We have the Pleasure to acquaint your Worship, that the above Letter was unanimously approved of in a full Committee And are, Sir, [&c.] (By order of the Committee)
