Letter from the Maryland Council of Safety to Hugh Young

v6:669

Annapolis, June 1, 1776.

SIR: We presume the first valuation of the schooner Ninety-Two was regular, and therefore conceive ourselves bound by it, without paying any regard to the subsequent proceedings of Cravath & Dugan. The necessary repairs which have been since made under your agreement ought to be added. We cannot now give orders to the schooner, and doubt very much whether she can sail at all, but of this will determine in a few days, and apprise you, or in your absence, the above gentlemen, of it.

We are, &c.

To Mr˙ Hugh Young.
