To the Committee of Harford
Gentlemen.
The Publick service requires that all the Arms purchased
by you or manufactured in Harford under your Direction be
transmitted to Baltimore Town to Gerard Hopkins the Com-
missary, of whom you will be pleased to take a Receipt, and
transmit to us the Number, Quality and Value of the same.
We desire you will also furnish us with an account of the
Disposition of the four hundred pounds we heretofore sent
you.

[Council to Hall.]

To Colonel Josias Carvil Hall
Sir. The Council of Safety think it proper that you and the
Battalion under your Command should be stationed at this
City and at Baltimore Town, to supply the place of the Regu-
lar Forces that have marched from this Province to Pennsyl-
vania; as we desire to see you as soon as possible to concert
the proper measures for the defence of this place, we request
you will come to Annapolis as soon as you can — we send you
inclosed your Commission.

[Council to Tillard.]

To Captain Edward Tillard
Sir. We are glad to hear you and your Officers are so for-
ward in raising your Company as our Forces are at present
much wanted, tho' it will be difficult to procure Firelocks for
all the Men, yet we cannot agree to give so great a price as
Six pounds Currency apiece, we have got very good at four
pounds and a Crown, but would on this occasion willingly
advance as far as four pounds Ten for such as are good and
serviceable, fixed with Bayonets.
