v1:992

MARYLAND COUNCIL OF SAFETY TO COLONEL HOLLINGSWORTH.

[No˙ 147.] Annapolis, August 17, 1776.

SIR: It is thought by some of the Delegates from your County, that a sufficient quantity of cloth proper for tenting can be had there to make tents for your two companies of Flying-Camp Militia. If it can, we shall be very much obliged to you to purchase it, and have as many tents made up with the utmost despatch, agreeable to the directions of those made at Baltimore, as will answer. You will also be pleased to have the necessary poles got ready, and the tents completely finished. We are, &c.

To Colonel Henry Hollingsworth.
