[Council to Laurens.]

In Council Annapolis 20th March 1778.
Sir
We inclose your Excellency a Copy of a Resolve of the
General Assembly requesting Congress to supply one hun-
dred thousand Dollars for the purpose of purchasing Provi-
sions for the Continental Army which we beg you will lay
before Congress and, we flatter ourselves, that Honorable
Body will make the desired Provision. The Assembly are
now on a Bill which we hope will be perfected Tomorrow, for
immediately collecting what Provisions can be spared from
this State on Certificates with or without Consent of the Pro-
prietors and giving the Executive the necessary Powers to
answer the Views of Congress, as to the Transportation of
Provisions for the Use of the Army but a speedy Remittance
of Money to defray the Expences, will greatly facilitate the
Business. We have the Honor to be
Your Excelys most
obedt Servts
The President in Congress.
