[Council to H. Hollingsworth.]

In Council 22^d Oct^r 1777.
Sir
By this Opportunity, we have wrote pretty fully to Col^o
Rumsey and shall endeavour to furnish the two Classes of the
Cecil Militia as far as we can, and to prevent Delay shall send
the Arms &^ca to the Head of Elk. We do not believe it is in
our Power to fit out more than two Classes of your Militia in
any Manner, and, as the Assembly is now about Sitting, we
do not think we can order out more, with Propriety. The
Pay of the Militia we expect is drawn at Camp, but if not, on
having the Pay Rolls transmitted, the Money shall be imme-
diately sent. We are Sir &^ca
Col^o Henry Hollingsworth.
