[Council to Smallwood.]

Col" W^m Smallwood
Sirs: We are desirous of having a particular account of
the Troops at present under your command, as well regulars
as militia, distinguishing those that are effective from those
that are sick, wounded or prisoners; also a List of those that
have been killed, we have heretofore wrote about sending
us an Inventory of arms and other stores belonging to this
State to which we refer and repeat our request that you would
comply therewith, we are surprized you have never wrote us
a Line since you left Annapolis, and more especially since the
Battle on Long Island, we are much pleased to hear the
great character the Marylanders have acquired, & heartly wish
you health and good success.
