[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 Phila 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.
