Sir:—

I am directed by the Board of War to inform you that Congress have taken into Continental Pay as Part of the Quota of Troops to be raised by the State of North Carolina, the Artillery Company of that State. You will be pleased to inform the officers commanding the Company of his being received into Continental service, and that Congress direct him forthwith to proceed and join Gen. Washington.

P. S. I have had the honor of receiving no list of officers appointed in No. Carolina in the Continental Reg'ts with their ranks and dates of Commissions, as desired in a former letter.
