COLONEL DORSEY TO MARYLAND COUNCIL OF SAFETY.

Elkridge, July 18, 1776.

SIR : When the Elkridge Militia went from this place for Annapolis, I promised to send down an equal number on Sunday, the 21st, to relieve them; but as Captain Daniel Dorsey' s company, of the Flying Camp, will certainly be down on that day, and Captain Edward Norwood' s the day following, I am at a loss to know whether you will stand in need of the Militia. Please to inform me by Mr˙ Larkin Dorsey, that I may take measures accordingly.

I am, with respect, your most obedient servant,
THOMAS DORSEY.

To the Hon˙ Daniel of St˙ Thomas Jenifer, Esq˙, President of the Council of Safety of Maryland.

N˙ B˙ Captain Norwood and Dorsey' s companies will have few or no fire arms.
