of the Council of Safety, 1775-76. 469


Rogers will proceed with her Cargo, by what I learn from the
man that had her since she was built she goes as well as allmost
any vessel you can get: — Therefore think she stands a better
chance than many others — I would be glad to know from you
who I am to apply to for the Detention of the brig before she
was loaded, say from the 4th of March to the 29th April & also
from the 11th of May (the time she was loaded) until the day
she sails, by conforming to my requests. You will much
oblige Your Humble Servant,
Geo. Woolsey


[Scott to Jenifer.]

Sir. Having some Business of much consequence to my
private concerns to transact in England, which acquires my
attendance there, I propose with the approbation of the Council
of safety, undertaking a voyage thither by the first convenient
opportunity that offers, intending to return again to my family
in Maryland as speedily as my affairs will permit, and shall
think myself much obliged to the council of Safety if on this
application, they will grant me a passport that may be of service
in preventing me from being obstructed in accomplishing this
design.
I am Sir, with great respect, Your most obedt Servt
U. Scott.
Annapolis June 6th 1776.
The Honble. The President of the Council of Safety.
