HEWES & SMITH TO GOV. CASWELL.
[From Executive Letter Book.]

Edenton 9th April 1778.

Sir:

We had the honor to address you this morning once before and that time forgot to mention that your Excellency should send us three receipts for the Tickets sent, with the number expressly enumerated, or mentioned and expressed. The order of Congress we take the liberty to enclose. We pray this may be attended to as we run a very great risk without it by that Resolve. We are with great respect Sir,

Your ob. servts.
HEWES & SMITH.
