Dear Sir:—

I just wish to inform you that Capt. Murphree, the bearer of this letter, has through the whole service, since he commenced officer, every part of which has been very fatiguing, and some of it dangerous, behaved with spirit, and in every particular worthily. I wish to recommend him to the notice of his country, which he truly deserves, and which your interest in obtaining him will much oblige Dear Sir, your most. ob. serv.,

R. HOWE.
His Excellency Rich'd. Caswell.
