Volume 08, Page 155

[N. C. Letter Book S. P. G.]

A Letter from the majority of those who were set up for Vestry men by the 
members of the Church of England, but the Dissenters List had the greater 
number of Votes.

To His Excellency William Tryon Esquire, Governor, Captain General and 
Commander in Chief in and over the Province of North Carolina.

Your Excellency was kindly pleased to recommend to the Vestry of St. Lukes 
parish the Reverend Mr. Drage, we, being the majority of the second List voted 
for Vestry members of the Church of England, therefore in compliance with your 
Excellencys indulgence, Do certify that the Reverend Mr. Drage doth daily give 
us infinite satisfaction in his sacred calling, and his situation as he 
informs us, is agreeable to him, and do humbly pray that you will give him 
Letters of Presentation and Induction to our Parish which will be the most 
agreeable indulgence your Excellency can possibly confer upon us.

[Signed by seven, the rest not being in Town.]
