CAPTAIN NICHOLSON TO MARYLAND COUNCIL OF SAFETY.

Baltimore, July 18, 1776.

GENTLEMEN : I was favoured with your orders of the 16th. I shall finish heaving down the ship this evening, and expect to sail from this on Sunday or Monday at farthest. I have been detained in caulking the ship all round. This I have sent by the small tender to wait your further orders until the ship comes down. The large tender sails this morning with the ten nineteen-pounders, shot, wads, &c.

I am, gentlemen, your most obliged humble servant to command,
JAMES NICHOLSON.

To the Hon˙ the Council of Safety of Maryland.
