[From MS. Records in Office of Secretary of State.]
Letter from Governor Martin to Samuel Johnston Esq.

New Bern Oct. 16th 1773.

Sir,

I have been favoured with your letter, accompanying the Papers relating to yo Meditn Passes, and the fees you received upon them.

I have the great satisfaction to inform you, I have received letters by yesterday's Post that I hope, and believe, will obviate the embarrassment with regard to our Court laws, at the next Session, upon which prospect I most sincerely congratulate you.

I have little reason to complain of the health in my family; and I shall be glad to find you have less.

I am with great esteem, &c.,
JO. MARTIN.
