M. HILLEGAS TO GOV. CASWELL.
[From Executive Letter Book.]


Philadelphia, May 11th, 1779.

Sir:

In pursuance of an order of the Honorable the Treasury Board, I do myself the pleasure of transmitting you 200 proof sheets of Bills, directed to be emitted in pursuance of the Resolution of Congress of the 26th Sept. last. I also take the liberty of enclosing you the resolution of Congress of the 14th Jan'y last, relative to their distribution, which there is no doubt will be done with prudence by their being put into proper hands in your State.

I have the honor of being
Your Excellency's Mo. ob. & Mo. humble Servt.,
M. HILLEGAS.
Gov. Caswell.

P. S. You will please give Mr. Gray, &c., duplicate receipts for those sheets.
