Baltimore 29^th August 1776.
Gentlemen. I was requested by Cap^t Nicholson to procure
a vessel to go to James River for a load of coal. I have
accordingly for that purpose made a verbal agreement with
Cap^t Johnson of the schooner Sally & Polly; he says she will
carry about 2000 Bushells of grain, if so, he is to receive
twenty five shillings per day, he victualling & manning her.
I have referred him to you for orders. Cap^t Nicholson also
sent down the 27^th Ins^t two other small vessels at 12/6 p^r day
each with the schooner Revolution.
I am Gentlemen with the greatest respect,
Y^r Hble Serv^t
James B. Morris.
