This Committee, agreeable to, the request of the honourable Council of Safety, inform their Honours, that at DrumPoint, (near the mouth of Patuxent,) there are two dwelling-houses, with fire-places to each, and a store-house, and very near thereto a school-house, on the river side, which the proprietors are ready and willing should be used by Captain Beall' s men; and this Committee offer it as their opinion, that that is the most proper place for the troops to be stationed at in this County.

Signed by order:

E˙ JOHNSON, Clerk pro tem.

To the Honourable Daniel of St˙ Thomas Jenifer, Esq.
