"The House of Burgesses, deeply concerned
about the great danger from the hostile invasion of
the city of Boston, whose commerce and harbour are on
the first of June to be stopped by an armed force, propose
to set apart the said first of June for fasting, humiliation
and prayer, devoutly to implore the divine interposition
for averting the heavy calamity. I fear if they do,
the Royal
Governor of Virginia will be forced to dissolve
the Assembly before they have completed the country's
business. As it is, there is nothing conclusive
done and I apprehend several laws are expired or near
expired. Without these laws our courts and economy will
not be able to function."
