[Council to A. Vanbibber.]

Sir. March 11^th 1777.
Your favor of the 10^th of January we have received, and
are sorry for the capture of the Resolution. Your Order in
favor of Vanbibber and Crockett, 1133 1/6 Dollars, we have
paid. M^r M^cCreary informs us that he shipped from Rotter-
dam to your address on account of this State 200 Musquets
&c., that a M^r Beall who is connected with Mr Norton at
Williamsburgh informed him that these goods arrived safe in
Statia & that you refused to pay the freight of them and that
a Mr Stevenson had taken them up and sold part to pay it.
We cannot give credit to this information and desire that you
will make enquiry & inform us particularly how and in what
manner this business has been transacted and what has been
done with the goods We refer you to our letter of this date
to Vanbibber and Harrison, and are &^c
Mr. Abraham Van Bibber
