Mr Earl to the Secretary (Extract)
No Carolina. Edenton April 13, 1765.
Revd Sir:
—The church in this town which was built at a considerable expence, is in a very ruinous condition, Chiefly occasioned
by want of a vestry, our vestry Laws, for some years past being repealed in England as soon as they appear there, which is a great obstruction to the Building & repairing places of worship, and is a very great Prejudice to the Clergy. Our worthy Govr Mr Dobbs lately departed this life, who was a great Patron of Religion.
