JAMES CLARKE AND MELCHIOR KEENER TO MARYLAND COUNCIL OF SAFETY.

Annapolis, October 10, 1776.

We, the subscribers, inhabitants of Baltimore-Town, beg leave to acquaint the honourable Council that we have been for a number of years purchasers of produce in said town, and being informed that a considerable sum is shortly to be laid out for the use of the Province, do now make an offer of our best services, and should the honourable Council be pleased to employ us in purchasing such produce as may be bought at Baltimore, we will do it for a commission of one pound ten shillings on every hundred pounds, and will give the best of security for our faithful performance.

JAMES CLARKE,
MELCHIOR KEENER.

To the honourable Council of Safety of the Province of Maryland.
