To Colo Francis Ware.
Sir: We leave Colo Ware entirely at large on the Point of
Inoculation. We think it the safest method of taking the small
Pox, but would have him judge of the Risque. We are doubt-
ful Tents cannot be provided for some Time. Capt. Fulford
comes up to make some Enquires for us, if it lays in your
Way to assist him we should be obliged to you for it.

[Council to Sim.]

To Colo Joseph Sim.
Sir. Inclosed we send you a Copy of C. Pendleton Esqr his
letter to us relative to the Prisoners from North Carolina. We
request you would give the necessary Orders for convoying
those intended for Pennsylvania through Prince George's
County to Queen Anne where a proper Guard will be
appointed to receive them and conduct them to Baltimore
Town, those twelve intended to be kept in Custody in this
Province, we think it would be best to have them sent under
Guard by Water to George Town, and request you would
give the necessary Orders for that Purpose, there Colo Magru-
der will receive and convoy them to Frederick Town and
deliver them to the Committee of Observation for the Middle
District of Frederick County, to whom we have likewise wrote
on the Occasion.
The province will be answerable to you for reasonable
Expences.
4th May 1776.

P. S. In case any Letters or Papers should come for us by
the Guard, send them forward by Express.

place you will please to dispatch directions where you mean to
have yours kept, and appoint a proper guard for conveying
