[Council to J. Daffin.]

Sir. We have heretofore given recruiting orders to M^r
Thomas Sparrow, and an order payable to Maj^r Thomas Muse
for one hundred pounds to be delivered out occasionally as
recruits came in. Major Muse being since dead, the service
cannot go on, unless another person be appointed who will
act. M^r Sparrow writes that you will receive the money and
deliver it out, forty shillings are to be given per advance. We
send you an order on the Treasurer of the Eastern Shore for
£100 currency, and request you would deliver the money out
as recruits may come in.

Major Muse and send it to us.
