v1:723

MARYLAND COUNCIL OF SAFETY TO COMMITTEE OF DORCHESTER COUNTY.

[No˙ 106.] Annapolis, August 2, 1776.

GENTLEMEN: The prisoners sent up by you we have not, by reason of the great deal of business now before us, been able to examine; but shall, when we do, apply to you to send up the witnesses, if they deny the facts with which they are charged.

We send you a couple of barrels of musket gunpowder, and — weight of lead. The cannon powder may remain with you. We rely upon you for taking especial care that they shall not be wasted, as you know our safety depends upon our economy in this point. We are, &c.

To the Committee of Dorchester County.
