BENJAMIN HAWKINS TO GOV. CASWELL.
[From Executive Letter Book.]

Kingston, 27th Feb., 1786.

Sir:

If you should be enabled to procure the balance of the money required by the Commissioners of Indian Affairs from the State of North Carolina, I request your Excellency to inform Messrs. Gervais and Owens of it; that they may take measures for exchanging it, so as to answer the draughts of the Commissioners by the first of April at farthest.

I have the Honor to be Sir,
Your Excellency's most obedient
And Humble Servant,
BENJAMIN HAWKINS.
