COL. BULL TO MR. LAURENS. (Original MS.) To Henry Lauren, Esq., President of the Council of Safety in Charleston: Sir: About midway between Savannah and Purrysburg, I received your favor and the five hundred pounds sterling by Gruber; I dismantled all the vessels in Georgia, before I left that Province, and have returned safe home with my command. I purpose being in Charlestown to-morrow night, and will the next day acquaint the Congress or Council of Safety in what manner I have executed their order. Could I have heard from you but twelve hours sooner, I should not have left Savannah as soon as I have done, as there is one piece of service which I wanted to have put into execution, which I did not think myself properly authorized to do. I have the honor to be, sir, your most humble servt., STEPH'N. BULL P.S.I have supplied Gruber with five pounds of the public money.
