To General Buchanan
Sir. It has been represented to this Board that its abso-
lutely necessary that Competant Guards be kept at the Maga-

Smiths Company cannot perform that duty and do duty at the
Fortifications at the same time. We therefore request the
favor of you to order such of the Militia of your County upon
that Service as you may think requisite.

[Council to Baltimore Committee.]

To the Committee of Baltimore County
Gentlemen. We have desired Colonel Hollingsworth to
waggon from Christine Bridge to the Head of Elk one Hun-
dred half Barrels of Powder belonging to our Province and to
send the same to your care, when it arrives be pleased to store
it in the new Magazine. We think it would be prudent to
remove a Considerable part of the Province powder that is
now stored in Baltimore, to the same place, as it may be
dangerous to keep large quantities of that Article within reach
of the Enemy.
