[Wiesenthal to Barrister Carroll.]
Sir.
I received a letter from D^r Toothill which I take the liberty
to communicate to you, as it referrs to a verbal order of the
Council of Safety to deliver to him all the medicines, Shop-
furniture, Instruments &^c belonging to the Province, now
under my care.
As the reason for it is, because the hospital in Annapolis is
crowded with Patients and medicines are much in request, I
will take the Liberty to observe that the whole shop cannot so
easily be removed without manifest loss and great Trouble,
every thing must be taken out of Boxes, Drawers &^c and
packed up singly then packed into Chests or Barrells, the
shop furniture likewise must suffer, besides we being bur-

Original.
