[Lindenberger and McClellan to Council.]
Gentlemen. At the sitting of the last convention, we
brought a sample of gun powder made by us, Thos Jonston
Esqr acquainted us it was approved of, and a Resolve was
made and ended to lend us (if required) any sum of money
not amounting above £1000 without interest for 2 years, but
as the gentlemen in convention, and we did not know on what
terms we should agree; we was informed, the matter should
be left to the consideration of the Council of Safety which
would sitt in Baltimore & we therefore beg leave to acquaint
the gentlemen whenever they shall think proper, we shall
attend.
Gentlemen we are with due respect
Balto. Town Your very Humble Servants.
