Early Governors' Papers

We are using the utmost industry possible to complete such copies as may be necessary in order to check the issuing of Grants

On the 10^th of March I must have this place for Tennessee, and will complete all that can be done before that time - Should other papers be wanting the Legislature will have them taken when the Books are sent for - It will not be in the power of the agent to procure the numbers &c of the Grants which issued from upon warrants from Carters office As they are dispersed through 85 volumes

When all the Grants belonging to Tennessee are copied, it can be done at less than half the expense

There is not to be found in the office any record of the warrants which issued to Evans' Batalion, other
