Issued before Jefferson's resignation as governor on June 3, 1781, apparently in an attempt to void paroles granted captured Virginia militia officers by British forces. No copy now known; Swem recorded title from printed form in state archives, now lost. John Dunlap and James Hayes were appointed as Virginia's public printers in November 1780, but several war-time incidents kept them from printing in Richmond until December 1781; they conducted some public business in Charlottesville during the government's western exile in the summer of 1781; this is one of those imprints.
