[From the MSS. Records of the Friends Monthly Meetings in Pasquotank Precinct.]

At a Monthly Meeting Held in Pasquotank at Symonses Creek the 17th 4th Month 1713. This Meeting Considering the Gross and Vile Aspersions That Thomas Robinson hath Spread abroad against Mathew Pritchard tending to Defame the Truth and make Friends odious appoint James Davis & Zacheriah Nixon to speak to him to be at the next Monthly Meeting.

Also the Meeting's judgment is that all Friends that do suffer on Truth Act Either for not bearing arms or Refusing to pay Parish levies towards the support of the Churches so called do keep a true act of the sum they suffer & the day distress is made and Render the same to either John Symons or Joseph Gloster Also the queries were read and answered to, and Friends Desire is that all Friends be careful to keep work day meeting. Also Friends appoint John Morris & Henry White to represent the state of this meeting to the Quarterly Meeting.
