of the Council of Maryland, 1777. 303


[Council to Capt. Conway.]
In Council Annapolis 28th June 1777

Sir.
We were in Hopes that the General Assembly would have
approved our Design of fitting out the Molly merely as a
Cruiser, but they thinking she would be much more advan-
tageously employed in a Voyage to import Salt and Medi-
cines, which are much wanted, we are obliged to abandon the
Scheme and have wrote Mr Hooe to purchase and put on
Board, as soon as he can, a Load of Tobacco, the only Pro-
duce that we imagine will in any Degree indemnify the Ex-
pence. We hope you will be soon ready and intend sending
your Orders in Time before you Sail We are &ca
Capt Conway
