His Excellency Thos. Burke, Esq., Sir:

I have charge of a number of publick beeves; therefore, I beg I may be furnished with three men from the Granville Militia, whose business it must be to keep up pasture fences, &c., and drive from pasture to pasture as it may happen.

I am Sir with due respect, Your very Hble. Servant,
