[James Calhoun to Council.]

Gentlemen. Baltimore 21st Feby 1777.

The keeper of the Prison for this County (being placed
there by Mr Christie who has left these parts) declares he will
not continue in it any longer and Mr Aisquith who is elected
Sheriff refuseth to take charge of it until he is commissioned
and the Prisoners properly assigned to him. Therefore the
Jail is likely to be left without a jailer, and there being no magis-
trate to take any order in this matter thought it my duty to
let your Honble Board know our situation. I hope you will
give some directions concerning it.

I am, Gent. Your most obedt Hble. Servt.

James Calhoun.
The Honble Council of Safety
Annapolis
