[Council to Hooe.]

In Council Annapolis 17^th Sept^r 1778.
Sir.
We have delivered M^r Harrison Bills of Exchange payable
in Paris for the Value of £2400 sterling. We hope and expect
that £2200 of it will pay off fully M^r Harrison's Claim against
this State, the other £200 we should be glad you would take
for £1000 our Money, the Terms on which we bought the
whole. M^r Harrison has with him, a Copy of the Receipt he
gave for the Bills; we do not know any Thing of the Exchange
at Martinico, but suppose Circumstances concur to make it in
Favor of Bills. We shall be obliged to you to mention to M^r
Harrison, the disadvantageous Terms on which we purchased
them and our Hopes that he will be able to sell them well.
We do not think we can, with Justice to the Public, confirm
M^r Harrison's Sale of the General Smallwood; your Offer in
your Letter of the 29^th of August, we esteem fair, and shall be
obliged to you to send her round immediately to us, and to
send us, as soon as you can, your Accounts on this disagree-
able Subject. We are &^ca
Col^o Robert T. Hooe
