Sir:

I this moment received the enclosed depositions by express from Cape Fear, which contain all the information respecting Capt. Folger, that I have been able to obtain since I had the honor of writing you by the return of your express.

Your favor of the 26th December came to hand a few days past enclosing an address and Resolves of Congress directed to the

General Assembly which I shall take the earliest opportunity of laying before that body. I have the honor to be Sir, your mo ob. servt.
