[Council to Colo John Gunby]

ing a Hogshead of Rum to be furnished and distributed amongst
the Non commissioned Officers and Privates of the first Maryland
Brigade and an Order on M^r Joseph Williams for the same

[Gov. Lee to Honble Speaker of the House of Delegates]

Sir The Enclosure I received by Gen^l Gist. The Subject of the
Requisition, I beg Leave to refer to the Consideration of the House
of Delegates and must request you to lay the Matter before them.
The present exhausted State of the Treasury is, no Doubt, known to
the Gentlemen of the Assembly and as the Business requires Dis-
patch, their Discernment will point out the proper Mode of Pro-
ceedure in this Exigency. I have to observe that I have not, officially
received the Resolve alluded to by the Baron DeKalb, tho' I doubt
not the Fact is as represented.
