Dulany's Stead, the Reason I pitched on him is that he seems
to have made considerable Progress in the Mathematicks & is
a Modest well behaved Man, besides as there is but one place
of Worship in his parish which is not of great Extent & he
has no Family I conceived he could be more easily spared &
has more leisure than any other Gentleman I could think of.
Every Thing being now quiet in these parts, for we have not
lately had any disagreeable Accounts even from Carolina I
have no news of a publick Nature worthy notice to communi-
cate to Your Ldp unless that Transports are now taking up
at N York & Phila to carry as it is said twelve Regiments
from this Continent to Martinico towards the latter End of the
Summer. With the utmost Respect &c.

Sir
Inclosed is a Petition that was presented to me a few Days
ago (for the Remission of a Forfeiture) which I must beg the
favour of you to lay before His Ldp, All I can say of it is
that I am satisfied of the Truth of what is therein set forth &
as the Parents of the Child which was killed were most if not
alone to Blame, I hope His Ldp will exercise his Clemency
towards the Young man the Petitioner who upon giving Bond
to His Ldp for the Value of his Cart & Horses hath the use
of them till His Ldp's pleasure can be known. I shall likewise
herewith transmit a Copy of the minutes of the Proceedings
of the Commissioners for running the Divisional Lines at our
two last meetings whereby you will see that the Surveyors are
the 15th of next month to proceed with their Line which is
already continued up the peninsula almost 26 miles.
