[Council to William Wilkins Esq^r]

We are sorry that the Situation of your Family will not permit
your going to the Southward immediately. The Resolution of the
Assembly on the Subject being positive, and it being absolutely neces-
sary that the Officers and Soldiers should be possessed of their Cer-
tificates, in Time to avail themselves of the Law intended for their
Benefit, " directing the Sale of Lands for Officers Certificates &^ca
previous to the 1^st of July next," we have it not in our Power to
consent to the least Delay in the Settlement of their Accounts, and
have therefore appointed M^r John Johnson to succeed you, to whom
you will deliver over all your public official Papers.
