Sir. March 15^th 1777
We communicated to you our intention to send the Lydia
round to Potomack to load but as she will want some ballast,
we think right to advise you to purchase about sixty or eighty
Hhds Tobacco for that purpose, giving thirty five shillings for
Elk Ridge and thirty for Patuxent or Potomack Tobacco.
This you will put in and dispatch the ship off as soon as pos-
sible. We are &c.
Mr. Jesse Hollingsworth.

Messrs. Vanbibber & Harrison of Martinique shipped on
account of this State sundry merchandize on board the sloop
Liberty Cap^t Jones consigned to the Council of Safety of this
State. We ordered him to Annapolis to give an account
what he had done with the goods. M^r Neale informs us that
Cap^t Jones left Baltimore Town some days ago and that you
either or own, or are concerned in the Vessell. Be pleased
to let us know where the goods are and when they will be
delivered agreeable to the Bill of lading, a copy of which you
have inclosed
M^r Archibald Buchanan.
