Francis Saunderson for sundry expressions which appeared to
us of such dangerous tendency, that we conceived it to be
our duty to transmit him to you for further examination. We
have accordingly sent him under a guard of the militia,
accompanied by M^r Evans the Evidence against him. The
charge against M^r Saunderson enraged the people so much
that it was with much difficulty he could be protected from
the popular resentment. By order of the committee

[Garrett to Jenifer.]

Sr. I received your favor with one hundred pounds by M^r
Hall. I am very unfit for the task entrusted to me being so
deprived of my sight as to be unable to distinguish any writing
or print, but desirous to promote the service all in my power,
I have applyed to some gentlemen of our county to assist me.
I fear linnen cannot be got at the price you mention nor good
new blanketts at the price stipulated. Good Kersey blanketts
take 5 yds, & 5/ per yard is the lowest that article can be had
at, however tryall will be made, and shall furnish you with the
success we have. I have seen some linⁿ at Doct^r Archer's
Factory, but they ask more than you allow me to give.
I am Sir Y^r humble Servant
