Sir,
You will be pleased to deliver to George Handy or his order
as many Barrels of Flour as may be necessary for loading the
schooner Three Sisters, a Vessel we have chartered to per-
form a voyage to the foreign West Indies — should there not
be enough in your hands, be pleased to apply to Mess^rs Lux
and Bowley who have 100 Bbls of Flour of ours in their
custody, we wish the vessell to be dispatched.

[Hall's Memorial.]
To the Hon^ble Council of Safety of Maryland:

Richard Bennet Hall of Prince Georges County, Captⁿ of a
Company in the twenty fifth Battalion of the Militia of Maryland,
begs leave to represent to your Honourable Board, that James
Mullikin appointed First Lieutenant of the Company which
he commands, has at divers times endeavoured to injure your
Memorialist in the opinion of his neighbours by Misrepresenta-
tion, thereby creating divisions in the said Company, to the
great detriment of the service and particularly by using abusive
language to your Memorialist when in the execution of his
duty, and by striking and abusing one of the privates of the
said Company on the day of Muster — all which your Me-
morialist submits to your Honours and prays that a Court
Martial may be appointed, for hearing and determining this
matter and (if your honours think proper) that the said Court
be composed of officers from Col: Joseph Sim's Battalion in
Prince Georges County.
