Letter from tile Maryland Delegates in Congress to the Council of Safety

v5:920

Philadelphia, April 13, 1776.

GENTLEMEN: There is not an ell of light duck in this city, or we should have bought some, agreeable to your request. We advised with persons here who understand what articles are fit for tents, and they inform us that the cruger sent by Mr˙ Bowly from hence, is very proper for that purpose. We wish to know if you have received the cruger and other linens imported in the Wild Duck. We directed them to be lodged at Baltimore for your order, and expect they are arrived before this. Enclosed you have a memorandum of the several prices. Be pleased to inform us if you have heard from Vanbibber. No important occurrence since we last wrote you.

We are your most obedient servants,

THOMAS STONE,
THOMAS JOHNSON, JUN˙,
R˙ ALEXANDER.

To the Honourable the Council of Safety of Maryland.
