No. 55.

[Council to J. Hollingsworth.]
To Mr. Jesse Hollingsworth
Sir.
As the former request made by the Council was disagree-
able, as you mention to us, to Messrs Lux & Bowley and Cap-
tain Woolsey, we thought it most proper to refer the consid-
eration of their claims and proposals with all the papers and
letters relative to that transaction to the Convention, who have
concurred with the report of their Committee of Claims, which
we send you inclosed, — you will therefore make known to
those Gentlemen this resolution of the Convention, and you
will proceed agreeable to the instructions we have given
respecting those cargoes, and you will please to inform those
Gentlemen we will pay the particular sums to their order.
Lieutenant Moore has made known to us that there are want-
ing for the artillery here 200, 4lb Balls, 200 6lb Do and 400 3Ib
do These are cast at the Kingberry Furnace, and we request
the favor of you to expedite them as soon as they possibly can
be done
