376	Records of Maryland Troops in the Continental Service

          			Port Tobacco, 2nd Sept., 1781.
Dear Col.
	The enclosed are Exact Lists of the draughts and Substitutes
draughted &c. for this County the present year. I Judge you Will be
amazed to See Such a number Discharged, therefore have Noted against
their Respective Names, the Causes that Rendered it Necessary. There
are Also Several that are So debilitated by Sickness that they are Not
able to March at present, and a few Sculkers that I have Not been able as
yet to git hold off, tho have made use of the most probable means for
that purpose, and hope in a few days to accomplish it. Please Lay the
Lists Before the Honorable the Governor and Council and Oblige
		Dr. Sir
     			Your Respectfull Huml. Servt.,
						Frans. Ware.

	    To Col. John H. Stone, Annapolis.

	Return of the drafts from Charles County who were drafted the
