[From Tryon's Letter Book.]
Letter from Governor Tryon to The Honorable Commissioners for managing his 
Majesty's Stamp Duties.

Brunswick the 3d February 1767 
Mr Gray Cooper in his letter dated the 5th May 1766 received the 1st of 
November last acquainted me he was directed by the Lords Commissioners of his 
Majesty's Treasury to require me to send to the Commissioners for managing his 
Majesty's Stamp Duties in Great Britain such stampt paper as remained in my 
custody or power, I have therefore ordered the Captain of Johnston's fort, to 
deliver on board the Hazard, Thomas Potts, Master, bound for London, one bale 
of Stampt papers which was brought into this port by the Diligence Sloop of 
War from Virginia. The bale was opened during the disturbances to see if it 
contained any particular instructions for the Distributor of the Stamps, but 
believe nothing was taken out of it but two Acts of Parliament.

I am &c

Note — Capt. Robert Howe sent the Commissioners under a blank cover, a Bill of 
Loading of four boxes of Stampt Paper shipt in the Hazard Capt. Potts to 
London, by whom the above letter went.
