In Council Annapolis 27^th Nov^r 1777.
Sir.
We are informed by L^t Col^o Adams, that one Roach, who
lives at or near Vienna, and is now at large in those Parts,
has been in the Enemy's Service acting on Board a Tender
and was taken on Board Capt Byas's Boat with several others,
when she was retaken. We have no Oath before us, as to
the Truth of the Report, or we should send for Roach, but it
is highly proper his Conduct should be enquired into and, if
culpable in the Manner represented, that he should be prose-
cuted. We therefore request you will send for Byas and
take such other Measures as may be necessary to investigate
this Matter. Your own Prudence will make it unnecessary to
observe that your Enquiry should be as private as possible,
that Roach may not hear you are taking Measures against
him 'til your Warrant is executed, if you should think proper
to issue one.
William Ennals Esq^r We are Sir &^ca
