Archibald Buchanan to Maryland Council of Safety

ARCHIBALD BUCHANAN TO MARYLAND COUNCIL OF SAFETY.

Baltimore-Town, December 9th, 1776.

GENTLEMEN: I desired Mr˙ Stephen Stewart, who I saw some time ago in Baltimore, to acquaint you that it was time to send up masters for the gondolas. Anchors and cables we ought to have immediately; we cannot launch them without. One of them is in my way, where I want to raise a ship. It is best to have masters before they are launched, as they sometimes want some alterations.

Captain Matthews, of Harford, mentioned to me he had some reason to expect one of them. I imagine he will be ready as soon as you please.

Your answer will oblige, gentlemen, your most humble servant,

ARCH˙ BUCHANAN.

The honourable Council of Safety, Annapolis.
