Sir
We have ordered a large Quantity of Powder from hence
and Baltimore to Frederick to be lodged in your Care; you
are to hire 12 good Men under you as a Guard and have it
deposited in the Market House, 'til a Magazine can be built,
where it is again to be removed and guarded. You will be
careful to keep and transmit to us, a very exact Account of
what may come to your Hands. If any Difficulties should
occur, you will write to us by Express, or if that will delay too
much, advise with M^r Hanson and Col^o Beatty; we hope they,
and the other Gentlemen of Frederick Town will give you any
Assistance in their Power that may be necessary.
Maj^r Benjamin Johnson. We are &^ca
