I do myself the honor to enclose you a Resolution of Congress, directing me, to deliver to the order of the Supreme Executive of each State such Certificates as shall remain unissued, belonging to the Corps not appertaining to any line, and as several of the Agents of these Corps have made a settlement with me, and deposited Certificates belonging to the Inhahitants of the State of North Carolina. I am to request that some person may be impowered to receive the same from my hands. I am with great respect,

On a report from the Board of Treasury, to whom was referred a Petition of Lewis Nichola and Richard Loyd Agents to the invalid Corps and Hazen's Regiment in behalf of themselves and the Agents of Armand's Corps, the Regiments of Artificers and the Corps of Sappers and Miners.
