MARYLAND COUNCIL OF SAFETY TO CAPTAIN TILLARD.

[No˙ 26.]

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.
