LETTER OF GOVERNOUR LAW TO GOYERNOUR SHIRLEY. ï Milford, August 26th.

Sir,

On the twenty third instant by an express I received your packet yesterday att New Haven, I called a concil and laid before them the several articles you proposed and they readily consented that I should draw an order on our treusurer for money to answer the charge of transporting these prisonners belonging to this Coloney as soon as you shall informe me of the sum it amounts to in our currency.

Likewise they chearfully complyed with the Marquis in the article relating to the realeasing prisoners without reason or regard to number of prisoners and each ones bearing the charges of their own people’s trans-

h porting.

I subscribe,

Your Excellency’s most humble obedient servant,
