R HENDERSON, W. R. DAVIE, J. KINCHIN TO GOV. BURKE.

Salisbury, March 28th, 1782.

Dear Sir:

We have enclosed the case of Colo. Bryan to you, as a Petition will be preferred to your Excellency praying the clemency of the State, and as we are of opinion that his execution would be a reflection on our Government.

We have the Honor to be
Your Excellency’s
Most obedient,
Humble Servants,
RICHARD HENDERSON,
WILLIAM R. DAVIE,
JOHN KINCHIN.
