Sir
I enclose the original discharge of Osborne Kelly - one certificate for 3 months - the other a Letter of duty & that the date of 1781 & first of 1782 - It cannot be for less than 3 months as it appears from recent publications the Legislature about that time were referred to receive for less than 3 months - why the date of the year has been erased, I am not sure - perhaps under maintenance - for it evidently was 81 - I don't think there was a join here although I think I believe he was in 79 -
