Gervas Storrs and Joseph Selden to Governor James Monroe, 8 September 1800

To The Governor of Virginia at Richmond

Sir,

This is to certify that I was in conjunction with Joseph Selden an we were examining in magistrates in the case of the negroes charged with conspiracy & a design to raise rebel against the white people; & from every incident which appeared at the examination, I do not hesitate to say that Gabriel the property of Thos. H. Prosser [of] Henrico County, was clearly proven to be the [mai]n spring & chief mover in the contemplated rebellion. Given under my our hands this 8th day of September 1800.
