Letter from Captain Nicholson

v6:669

CAPTAIN NICHOLSON TO MARYLAND COUNCIL OF SAFETY.

Ship Defence, off Annapolis, June 1, 1776.

GENTLEMEN: I received yours this morning per Middleton, and ordered him down on the look-out. I have not discovered anything of the ships since I left them off Windmill Point, but apprehend, should they intend up the bay, you will certainly hear of them this evening. I am now proceeding with the ship up to Baltimore, where shall expect your further orders.

I am, gentlemen, your most obliged humble servant,
JAMES NICHOLSON.

To the Honourable the Council of Safety of Maryland.
