Letter from Charles Grahame to Thomas Harwood, Jun

v1:808

Lower Marlborough, August 7, 1776.

DEAR SIR: Enclosed is Captain J˙ A˙ Thomas' s certificate of an agreement made with John David for the hire of his schooner to carry his company to Annapolis, and John David' s account of the time he was on that service proved. You will please apply to the Council of Safety for an order on the Treasury for the money, and I will take it when I come up next week.

Our people have put it upon me to serve them once more, and I must accordingly give my attendance at the next Convention. My colleagues are Benjamin Mackall, of Hallowing Point, Colonel Fitzhugh, and John Mackall. I am sorry to hear that Mr˙ Johnson is dropped by Anne Arundel County — it would have given me pleasure to have served with him; and as I have heard nothing of the city election, am still in hopes of his being elected for that.

I am, respectfully, dear sir, your very humble servant,
CHARLES GRAHAME.

To Mr˙ Thomas Harwood, Jun˙, Annapolis.
