Annapolis, March 7, 1776.
SIR: The man-of-war and tenders are gone past the mouth of the Severn, and are bound, as we believe, up the bay to Baltimore Town. You are therefore to march immediately to Baltimore Town with your battalion, and endeavour to repel any hostile attempts that may be made. Should any powder or lead be wanted, you may be supplied from Major Gaither' s.
We are, &c.
To Colonel Thomas Dorsey.
