of the Council of Maryland, 1778-1779. 111

for the Transportation of Provisions, the first we can com-
mand on that Service, we shall send round to Potowmack,
with Orders to take what you have on that River: What lies
convenient to Patuxent, had best be sent to convenient Land-
ings there but, if you have an Opportunity, we wish you in the
mean Time to hire a Vessel and send forward the Provisions,
inclusive of the Pork from Potowmack, addressed to Col^o
Henry Hollingsworth at the Head of Elk. If we should send
a Vessel round at the same Time, there would be no great
Disappointment, as she may carry Fish or other Provisions
from above or below you. We are &^ca
M^r Thomas Clagett
