Sirs. Baltimore February 28^th 1777.
I doubt not but you will think it strange that the Brig
Brothers is not with you before this, but my not being
aquanted with riging as I ought to be I think the have not
delivered the vesell with her Riging agreable to inventory so
that wee wanted a few coills of rope which I have with the
greatest difficulty got, and am geting from M^r Lux. I had a
old cable of my own and have twise laid it and with a deall of
Trouble shall get her away the last of the week or the begin-
ing of the next. Capt. More has his hands which is a matter
worth much at this time. from your humb^le Servant
