GOV. CASWELL TO HON. JOHN PAGE, LT. GOVERNOR VIRGINIA.
[From Executive Letter Book.]
Dobbs County, 21st Aug't, 1777.
Sir:—
Your favor of the 16th current I this moment received, and shall immediately give orders to the officers commanding the Militia in
this State to hold the first and second divisions (which makes one half of the whole,) in readiness to march on the shortest notice. I have also appointed a meeting of the Council at New Bern the first of September, when I shall be glad to be favored with such intelligence as you shall think proper to communicate. I flatter myself this State will ever be ready to give her sister States every assistance in her power.I am &c
RICHARD CASWELL.
