To Captain Deans, Queen Anne County
Sir.
By order of Convention you are immediately to march to
Philadelphia where you will receive further orders. The
Service requires the utmost expedition. You will go to the
Head of Elk by water, where Provision and Baggage
Waggons will be provided for you. If those who have lent
Guns upon Condition your Troops continued in Queen Anne's
County, insist upon having them returned, you will then
supply the deficiency occasioned thereby out of Captain
Dames's Company, which has a number of Guns purchased
by the Committee.
