Certificate From Patrick Henry, Governor

• "Mr. Maupin having requested me to certify the nature and extent of his office, as well as the manner in which he executed it, justice calls upon me to say that a constant and painful attention to the Magazine is necessary. The Constant receiving and delivering Arms for Repair, sending and receiving them to and from distant stations and a vast variety of matters to be transacted at the principal Magazine make his office very laborious and of great importance. And I certify that I think he discharged his duty faithfully and diligently and in such a manner as to deserve approbation. I think the most entire reliance may be placed in his Honesty, His Disposition and readiness to oblige is well known, and on the whole I know him to be a most deserving officer and worthy of encouragement.
