Dear Sir,
The enclosed papers were de-
livered to me by the Senators of Virgi-
nia who were good enough to say
that these claims are cognizable
in your office. The size of the bun-
dle need not alarm you; a single
perusal will shew their nature
sufficiently, and perhaps your de-
termination may therefore be formed
without much difficulty.
I am your very obedt Servt
W. Davies
