From the South Carolina Delegates in Congress

Philadelphia, 30 Jan. 1781. “Tho: Bee, Isaac Hobbe and Jno Mathews, Delegates from So Carolina, to Gov: Jefferson of Va. introducing William Parker, Esqr., one of the Treasurers of South Carolina, who goes to Virginia for the purpose of removing the Public Papers under his charge to some place of Safety, and requesting such aid be given him, as the circumstances may require.”

MS not located. Summary quoted from CVSP description begins Calendar of Virginia State Papers … Preserved in the Capitol at Richmond description ends , i, 475. The name “Isaac Hobbe” is, of course, an error; it should be Isaac Motte.
