In Council Annapolis 6^th Feb^ry 1778.
Gent.
We should be very glad to oblige in any Thing we could
with Propriety, but, we are satisfied, Negroes or any other
Kind of Property taken by the Enemy, will not be restored,
on such Representations of the Dispositions of the Owners as
ought to be made. It may easily be judged what kind of
Language must be used to obtain Favors. We therefore, will
not give any Pass and, are in Hopes, the Assembly will fully
indemnify you and other Sufferers, out of the same kind of
British Property amongst us. We are &^ca
Col^o Richard Lloyd & others
of Kent County.
