The Honorable the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina!
\nGentleman!
\nWe the Subscribers being all close and thick settled near John Melchers Mill on Rocky River have petitioned a few years ago to the honourable the General Assembly to grant him leave to open his gates in the dam for only 2 months in fishing time, which you allowed us graciously; but We experienced still a great hurt by it, and no benifit from the fishery, take the liberty to petition herewith again to grant him to have his gates constantly shut, as he has removed his damm lower down in the river, and we can never derive any benifit from the fishery, very few [fishes]coming up that distance, and those few can go but about 6 miles higher up the river and Said Melcher always allotted a frea fishery on his premises but we [with] great Inconveniency have to hunt in the busiest times diffrent mills, when we could have it most comfortable at hand.
\nWe therefore expect confidentially you’ll grant us also this just & humble request and remain respectfully<\/p>\n

The honorable General Assembly’s
\nobedient Servants<\/p>\n

An adviser for my self
\nTo onorabrell Genrall as embely gentelmen Let
\nI wish you wood let me on the Same footing as Elicander
\nabove me on the said river that imay in joy the fruite of my Labour
\nat last and if Should any information be lacking call upon
\nMr. Bradshaw a nabur Between the 2 mills and member of your honorable body<\/p>\n
