CAPTAIN MARTIN TO MARYLAND COUNCIL OF SAFETY.

July 20, 1776.

GENTLEMEN: Oxford being a place much exposed to danger, and from which a guard has been lately removed, should you think proper to place a small body of men there, my company is very convenient, and will engage to raise thirty for that purpose, under such officers as you may think proper, that are already officers in my company.

I am, gentlemen, your most obedient servant,
NICHOLAS MARTIN.

To the Honourable the Council of Safety of Maryland
