Annapolis, July 10, 1776.
SIR: We are glad to hear you and your officers are so
forward in raising your company, as our forces are at present
much wanted. Though it will be difficult to procure fire-locks for all the men, yet we cannot agree to give so great
a price as six pounds currency apiece. We have got very
good at four pounds and a crown, but would on this occasion willingly advance as far as four pounds ten for such as
are good and serviceable, fixed with bayonets.
We are, &c.
To Captain Edward Tillard.
