Maryland Council of Safety to William Spear

v4:1009

[No˙ 13.] Annapolis, February 12, 1776.

SIR: We are sorry to hear of the seizure of the vessels you mention in yours of the 7th; however, we hope the report about Neilt' s schooner may not be true. As we may probably think of giving some further instructions to your Captain, we shall take it as a favour if, when he comes down, you will accompany him. We are, &c.

To William Spear, Esq.
