<p>In Council Wmsburg Sept<sup>r</sup> 26. 1777</p>
<br /><p>Sir</p>
<br /><p>The Board having received Information that<br />Ocracock Inlet has been blocked up by some of the<br />Enemy's small Cruisers and Tenders; & it being suggested<br />that if the Gallies which were directed to be built & fitted<br />out at the joint Expence of North Carolina & Virginia,<br />or even any one of them, could be expeditiously equipped,<br />that important pass might be easily opened to the great<br />advantage of these States, & possibly to the Disgrace and<br />Destruction of that part of the Enemy's Fleet. It is there<br />fore hoped that your Excellency will give such orders<br />in this Matter as may appear to you most likely to<br />produce the desirable purposes just mentioned. We have<br />desired Champion Travis Esquire one of the Commissioners<br />of the Navy to examine into the State of the Gallies at<br />the South Quay, & to give Directions for the immediate<br />Execution of what may be wanting on our part that<br />we may be able as soon as possible to cooperate with<br />your State in the most vigorous manner for our mutual<br />Defence - I cannot refrain from acknowledging the<br />obligations I think this State is under to you Sir, for the<br />Orders you issued for one third of your Militia to hold<br />themselves in Readiness to march to our Assistance on<br />the late Alarming Occasion; & to the good people of<br />North Carolina for the readiness they have always<br />shewed to assist us - May an affection, and mutual<br />attachment between Carolina & Virginia ever increase<br />to the Honor & Security of the United States in general &<br />of these Contiguous Sister States in particular.</p>
<br /><p>Last Tuesday Evening the whole of the Enemys<br />Fleet which had gone up the Bay went out of our Capes.<br />We have received no authentic Accounts, but from the<br />best</p>

John Page letter to Richard Caswell, 1777 September 26
Description
An account of the resource
Virginia Lt. Governor John Page writes to North Carolina Governor Richard Caswell concerning British naval operations in the region. The British had blocked Ocracoke Inlet and Page urges Caswell to send one of the galleys constructed at the joint expense of the two states to dislodge the British vessels blockading the inlet. Page notes he will have Champion Travis, a member of Virginia's Naval Board, work to get some of Virginia's galley fleet into action. Page also thanks Caswell for making part of the N.C. militia available during the British Army and Navy's move up the Chesapeake as they advanced to Philadelphia and discusses the outcome of the action between Washington and Howe at Brandywine on September 11, 1777.
