[Council to R. Davis.]
In Council Annapolis 25th March 1778.
Sir.
Inclosed you will receive five Copies of an Act of the
present Session of Assembly for collecting Provisions and an
Appointment of you as Agent for that Purpose. As a Number
of Prisoners will be kept at Fort Frederick and a Guard
placed there over them, we think it adviseable for you to
deposit the Provisions as convenient as may be to Fort Fred-
erick. Colo Rawlings will deliver you this and we shall be
glad you would concert Measures with him for collecting the
Provisions above. We design he should have the Command
of the Militia who may Guard the Prisoners and the Superin-
tendance of the Business at the Fort; his Acquaintance with
Things of this Nature makes it very proper, and we wish the
Gent of your County to do all they can towards enabling him
to go through it with Reputation to himself and the State.
Richard Davis Esqr We are &ca
