In Council 15^th Jan^y 1778.
Sir
We send you, by Jacob Hoover, two hundred Pounds, on
Account of the Prisoners, which, we hope may last, 'til the
Commissary of Prisoners shall get his Affairs in this State in
a regular Train which we hope will be very soon. We shall be
obliged to you to send us your Accounts of the Expenditure of
the Money that the proper Charges may be made against the
Continent. We shall send up to Frederick Town the Money
to pay your Militia for the Accounts sent down, subject to
your Order
Col^o John Stull. We are Sir &^ca
