[Council to Col^o Samuel Smith.]

M^r Steward informs us that he has directed his Son to deliver over
to you, the five thousand Dollars, brought in by Capt. Martin, for
the State. Upon your receiving the Money, you will be pleased, if
you have delivered our former Letter to the Naval Officer, to deliver
the enclosed also, which countermands the Orders contained in the
other; you will also deliver the Letter to the Attorney General. We
have put you to much Trouble in this Business, but we have been
induced thereto by our Opinion of your Desire to render the Public
any real Service, which we hope will be our Apology.

this State; the enclosed Bill points out your Duties and Salary. It will
be necessary, in Case of your Acceptance of the Office, to repair to
this City as early as possible, as the Business is now suffering, for
the Want of a Superintendant.
