Cambridge July 22^nd 1776.
Gent. At our last May Convention an order was drawn by
your Board in my favour on the Treasurer of the Eastern
Shore for Seven pounds ten shillings to pay waggon hire &^c
for carrying arms, ammunition &^c down to Snow Hill in Wor-
cester County. This order I have casually lost, if on this you
could furnish me with a duplicate of same date, should be
obliged to you or signify what necessary step I must take by
probate or certificate and it shall be done. The President
may remember something of application for it.
I am with esteem y^r obed^t Serv^t
James Murray.

[Dallam to Jenifer.]

Sir. Since my last I had what guns I had proved by Genⁿ
appointed by the Committee of Observation for which pur-
pose they have past 23 guns ready fitted. I have five more
ready and shall have as many made next week as will pay the
sum I received and unless you can raise the price to me I
must give over. By the parcel I have now made, I shall be
near thirty pounds looser.
Our Committee have given 4. 10. 0 for guns worse than
mine. If you want any quantity of Bayonets made, I will
undertake to make a parcel at 107: Please to let me know.
I am Sir Your Hum. Serv^t
July 22^nd 1776. Richd. Dallam.
