JOHN WESTON TO MARYLAND COUNCIL OF SAFETY.

Kingsbury Furnace, July 13, 1776.

GENTLEMEN: I received your favour 8th current, and sorry it is out of my power to serve the Province with guns, as both our furnaces are out of blast, nor can we blow till late this fall for want of water. Captain Charles Ridgely' s furnace is in blast, and likely to continue for some time.

I am, gentlemen, your humble servant, JNO˙ WESTON.

To the Hon˙ the Council of Safety, Annapolis.
