May it please your Grace

In North Carolina there are att this time ten Precincts, when the Country is all over peopled there may be as many more, att present there is a Register in every Precinct, but if his Majesty gives a Commission or Patent to any Gentleman to keep a General Register for the whole Country the Precinct Registers must drop.

I am my Lord Duke your Graces most humble and most devoted servant
GEO. BURRINGTON.
