COL. THOS. BONNER TO GOV. CASWELL.
[From Executive Letter Book.]

Beaufort County, 6th Oct., 1779.

Sir:

Enclosed I hope your Excellency will be pleased to receive a Commission delivered to me under your Excellency's signature, appointing me Col. of the Beaufort Regiment of Militia. The frequent return of my old complaints renders me incapable of exercising the duties of that office.

I have the honor to be,
Your Excellency's Mo. ob. Serv't,
THOS. BONNER.
Gov. Caswell.
