[Council to Christopher Edelen Esq^r]

We assent to your Proposition of paying the Money in your
Hands, to those Persons from whom you received Cloathing as

Hatts can be procured, we wish the Money to be applied to the Pur-
chase of those Articles

immediately, for two Months, 50 Militia of your County, as Part
of a Guard of 200 Men, to be placed over the Prisoners confined at
Frederick Town, and to be relieved at the Expiration of their Tour
by the same Number. We are much surprized, upon receiving Infor-
mation from Maj^r Bailey, who has the Command of the Guard, that
not a Man from your County had joined him. We have now to
reiterate our former Orders, and to insist upon the strictest Com-
pliance therewith
