In Council Annapolis 4^th Oct^r 1779
Sir.
We have just received a Letter from the War Office dated
the 27^th of last Month, in which we are informed the Board of
War, have desired Col^o Moses Rawlings to take the charge
and Government of the Prisoners sending to Fort Frederick.
We are very glad that a Gentleman so capable of managing
the Prisoners is appointed to the Care and Government of
them and we request you will concur, as we have no Doubt
you will, with Col^o Rawlings to promote the End of his
Appointment by attending to his Directions from Time to Time
We are &^ca
Cap^t James Wiley.

In Council Annapolis 4^th Oct^r 1779
Sir.
We are glad to be informed by M^r Randall and your Mem⁰
that you go on so well with the Shirts; we wish you to pro-
ceed so as to secure about 2000; if you can increase the
Quantity and better the Quality by giving as far as £6 a yard,
we are willing you should do so the Country Linen being so
much more serviceable than the imported, we would give it the
Preference, and if you see a fair Prospect of getting enough for
the 2000 Shirts, we wish to have nothing to do with the im-
ported Linen which M^r Smith spoke to you and wrote to us
about, but if you cannot get the Country Linen as fast as you
can have it made up, we request you to get the Favor of M^r
Smith to supply you with enough to make up the Deficiency.
If you can procure them soon, purchase as far as 1000 Hats
