v5:513

MARYLAND COUNCIL OF SAFETY TO LIEUTENANT BOUCHER.

[No˙ 93.]
Annapolis, March 27, 1776.

SIR: We cannot oppose the preferment of a gentleman who has manifested a laudable zeal for his country; and, therefore, accept of your resignation. This we do with the less reluctance, as your station may still afford you an opportunity of giving assistance to our Province.

We thank you for the services you have rendered us, and wish you success in the command of the Potomack Fleet.

We are, &c.

To Lieutenant John Thomas Boucher.
