[Council to Col. Hughes.]
Sir.
We would have Captain Maxwell's company march imme-
diately to Philadelphia. The Captain will there apply to and
receive further orders from Congress. It is doubtful whether
Tents can be had for them at Phil^a if they can they will be
furnished, but we presume, as Barracks are building at the
camp, that they may be well provided for when they arrive
there.
