To the Committee of Observation for the Middle
District of Fred^k County
Gentⁿ
We send you inclosed a List of Prisoners transmitted to us
from North Carolina, who are to be kept in Custody in this
Province. We request you would make the best Enquiry you
can into the Circumstances and Condition of the Persons, and
have those kept that you may think intitled to any Indulgence
in some Room or Rooms in Frederick Town, under a proper
Guard, the others in the public Prison there; until the Tory
House is got ready, which we hope will be done soon. The
Convention from North Carolina have sent us no State of the
Prisoners' particular Cases, nor any Thing more than we
inclose you a Copy of. they arc to do it soon. Should any
of the Prisoners incline to hand any State of their Case in
writing to us, we should be obliged to you to forward any
such, and we will consider the Affair more fully hereafter and
give Instructions if any be necessary, what further we would
have done. The immediate Expense will fall we suppose on
this Province, but surely North Carolina or the Continent will
reimburse us.
