the Treasurer of the Eastern Shore in your Favour for ^150
to disburse the Expences you have incurred in these Matters

plied with Arms and therefore cannot now furnish you, but

have inclosed. We informed you last Night that very little
Provision would fall to their share, this we confirm. We are
well prepared to repell any Attempts they may make to land.
You will now have no Occasion for Stacker's Company, there-
fore if you have ordered him to Baltimore Town, countermand
it. The President and Mr Tilghman conferred with two
Officers that came on Shore to attend the Flag. They con-

taken, but that Capt Squires bore away to prevent great
Effusion of Blood. But we conceive that he will loiter about
'till he is reinforced. We perceived a small Vessel making
down the Bay not unlikely with Intelligence to the King-Fisher
who the Flag said, might be expected to relieve the Otter.
Therefore you will be pleased to provide against the worst.
We cannot sufficiently commend those brave Sons of Liberty
who this Day stood forth so gallantly in Defence of their
Country Be assured that we shall afford them every assistance
in our power.
