Edenton 31st July 1777—
Sir,
The Bearer hereof Mr Quintin Millen not being here at the Meeting of the last Court held for this County he has since been Cited and brought before me. I being well acquainted with Mr Millen and fully convinced of his Intentions not to Act in any manner contrary to the Laws of this Country I took no Bail for his appearance at the next Court. He intends leaving the Country and waits on your Excellency for a Certificate for that purpose should his not have given Bail be any hinderance to his obtaining one he can at any time give Bail
The 16th. June last I wrote your Excellency informing you of my Intentions not to Qualify to the Commission of Oyer & Terminer for this District fearing that might have miscarried and having this safe opportunity by Mr Millen I thought it my Duty again to inform your Excellency that I cannot be prevailed upon to Qualify to the Commission of Oyer & Terminer. I hope by my giving such early information of my Intentions some Capable Person may be prevailed upon the accept the Commission. I am
Your Excellencys Most
Obedt Servt
