Sir,

Mr. Abijah Hammond1 has informed me that he delivered to the Grand Jury, before whom was brought the case of Christopher Bancker,2 the certificate, on which the charge against him was founded.3 I wish to know the present state of that affair.

I am, sir,   With great consideration,   Your Obedt Servant
