The Earl of Hillsborough
My Lord,
Since I had the Honor to Transmit to Your Lordship a Scheme for the
better collection of His Majesty's Quit Rents in North Carolina, Mf
Strudwick one of the Council of that Province, has forwarded me His
Letter of offers to Farm the above Quit Rents for the Term of seven
Years, which Letter I have herewith the honor to inclose to Your
Lordship.2 As Mf Strudwick has obtained my Leave of absence from the
Province for one Year to attend his private affairs in England, Your
Lordship may be better informed of His Plan when he does himself the
honor to wait on You.
I am at present with Lord Botetourt on a short visit, as well for the
reestablishment of my health as to pay my respects to His Lordship. I
have been inquisitive here concerning the mode practiced in this Colony
for collecting the Quit Rents, in Order to amend, if in my power, the Plan
I have sent to Your Lordship in N9 31.
I purpose to return to Carolina the latter End of this Month, and to
meet the General Assembly the 19P of October next, the Writs for
which are now out, and the Elections are to be made the 18!^^ instant
agreeable to a determination in Council, the Minutes of which I had the
Honor to forward to Your Lordship before I left Brunswick.
I am, My Lord, with the highest Respect
Your Lordships Most Obedient and most hum. Servant
WP Tryon
[Original, Sent to the care of MF Strudwick; duplicate sent by Lord
Botetourt from Williamsburg, Virginia.]
^Enclosures: 1?^ Letter from Mf Strudwick to Gov. Tryon, Proposing to farm the Quit
Rents in North Carolina.
2. Account of Salaries charged from the Quit Rents.
^Strudwick's letter to Tryon dated May 20, 1769, may be found elsewhere in this
volume.
