of the Council of Safety, 1776. 343


of a General Return of the Battalion & Veazy's Company
being all the Troops I march'd from Maryland with the
Accoutrements & Camp Equipage taken in Philadelphia to
to be rendered the Congress together with our Weekly Gen1
Return. The Independants are now about their Returns of
Arms Accoutrements & Camp Equipage brought by them
from Maryland, but not having Time to finish, they must
hereafter be return'd to Council of Safety, we have upwards
of Three Hundred Officers & Soldiers of the Maryland
Regulars very sick which you will observe by the Return and
I am sorry to say, it's shocking to Humanity [to have no
more Care taken of them — ] this must hurt the Service upon
the New Enlistments — Majors Price & Gist & Cap" Stone are
in the Jerseys very Sick, and Col: Ware and myself are very
unfit for Duty tho' we attend it — many more Officers are very

unwell — I am very respectfully

Your obedient & very hble Servant
W. Smallwood

Sir
Col: Smallwood not having Time to make a fair Copy of
the rough Draught, from which the above is copied desired
me to do it and Sign his Name, which I have done accordingly
and am your obedient & very humble Servant
Chrisr Richmond
P. S. it is now near Sun Set and we have
heard no firing, or any News of an Action
above King's bridge which has been hourly
expected
The Honble Mathw Tilghman Esqr
President Convention Maryland.


[R. Beall to Council.]

York Island 12th October 1776.
Gentlemen. In obedience to your orders of the 11th Sept and
3rd October have inclosed you an account of arms and accoutre-
ments received of the State of Maryland by the Troops under
my command, with a monthly return to the 10th Inst, of the
number, state & condition of said troops, I have had some
trouble in getting an account of the arms &c Some Captains
have not kept a regular account of what they received, which
makes me think the inclosed acct is not so correct as it ought
to be, though the best I coud get.
Capt Richardson and Capt Goldsberry of Colo Richardson's

Original.
