Fredericktown, March 4, 1776.
GENTLEMEN: The man who had the blankets for sale in this town could not stay to know your answer to my letter. I have, therefore, taken them, as I knew of none elsewhere to be had. I hope you will excuse my conduct in so doing, as well as the liberty I have taken to give him an order on the Paymaster for the money. The blankets were already engaged, but he let me have them to oblige the Province.
I am, gentlemen, with due respect, your obliged humble servant,
GEORGE STRICKER.
To the Honourable the Council of Safety of Maryland.

The amount of money I have given an order for is eighty-nine pounds fourteen shillings, for seventy-eight blankets.
