the most horrid and wanton Depredations upon our Citizens on the
Bay Shores, and we are therefore so desirous they should be
secured and brought to Justice, that we will chearfully send down for
them, if your Excellency will be so obliging as to inform us where
they are, or if it would be convenient for you to order them on to
Richmond or Norfolk, we could with greater Ease, get them from
either of those Places.

[Council to The Cheval^r De la Valette]

We are honored with yours of the 15^th Inst^t and are very happy
that your Officers are all quartered, we hope, to their Satisfaction.
It gives us great Pain that you should so much mistake the Meaning
of our Letter, as to suppose it possible we could have any Allusion
to the House occupied by you. We beg Leave to assure you sir, noth-
ing coud afford us more Pleasure than to contribute, in every Instance,
to your Accommodation.
