The inclosed account of vessels stranded near Cape Henry since
the 1.st of September 1769, has engaged the House of Burgesses of
this Dominion to beg of me earnestly to intreat your Excellency to
recommend to your Assembly in the strongest manner to join this
Colony in erecting and supporting a Light House on Cape Henry,
as they are convinced that it will conduce to securing the extensive
Trade carried on by both Colonies up the Bay of Chesapeake —
The Object is great and worthy the attention of both Countries,
and happy will it be for us shoud a Measure of such importance to
our States be brought to perfection during the course of our Resi-
dence in this flourishing Land —
I depend upon every assistance in your power and have the honour
to be, S.r
Your Excellency's most Obedient
Humble Servant
Botetourt
His Excellency Governor Eden
