Virga. 9th. Apl. 1772.
Dear Sirs.
I wrote to you the other Day advising
that our Assembly had adopted the Measures, which
you had been pleased to recommend, respecting the
Copper Money & desired that you would procure £1000
st.g worth of Copper half pence of the Currency of Virginia
which are proposed to run 60 to the pound Averdu:
poise, & send them over properly insured by the
first Opportunity. I am so much hurried at present,
that I have barely time to repeat this Request
& inclose Mr. Barraud's Bill on Philip Baraud for
£100 st.g, which you'll be pleased to place to
the Credit of the Treasury. I am, with much Esteem,
Dr. Sirs,
Yr. Aff.te. hble Sert.
Ro. C. Nicholas
