Sir,

My last was dated 3d Instant, hitherto I am without any of your Excellency's favors. Enclosed with this your Excellency will receive an address from Congress dated 23d Instant together with an Act of Resolves of the 20th directed to the General Assembly of North Carolina, which your Excellency is requested to lay before the Honorable House, as soon as possible.

I have the Honor to be, Sir, your Excellency's most
obedient servant,
HENRY LAURENS,
President of Congress.
