of the Council of Maryland, 1777. 393


[Council to J. Hollingsworth.]

In Council Annapolis 8th Octr 1777.
Sir.
We expected the Carpenters Work & Iron Work were
done to Capt Coursey's Galley and thought that something
was done towards the Rigging as Mr Smith furnished the Sails
of a Brigg which, we understood were to be applied that
Way, but we would have her thrown down & cleaned imme-
diately and fitted with such Things as are absolutely neces-
sary, the Times will not allow any Thing that can be done
without. We have drawn an Order in your Favour for one
Thousand Pounds. As to Advances for Rum, we have
several Times spoke on that Article, and, if any has been
supplied, since the last Account, we request you'll settle it
with the Officers who had it, for we shall not consent to charge
the Public with it. We are desirous of paying the Officers &
Men monthly, or, as often as is convenient but when Money
is drawn for Pay, our Method is to do it on a proved Pay
Roll; nor will we agree to do it in any other manner. We
are willing to leave a reasonable Sum of Money in advance,
in the Officers Hands & have drawn & will draw Orders at
any Time, on Application & approving the Use it is to be
put to, and, by this Method, we can have the Accounts settled
from Time to Time, but we repeat our former Request that
you will not advance large Sums to any of our Officers and
hope you will attend to it. We are &c.
Mr Jesse Hollingsworth
