[Council to Nathl. Smith.]

In Council Annapolis 17^th Feb^ry 1779
Sir.
We request that you'll furnish the Galley Conqueror with
any Number that may be thought necessary of the Matross
Company in Baltimore not exceeding a Lieutenant, a Ser-
geant, a Corporal and sixteen Privates. We expect this ser-
vice will be agreeable to the Officers and Men.
We are &^ca
Major Nat. Smith

[Council to Purviance.]

In Council Annapolis 17^th Feb^y 1779
Sir.
We hoped to have got the Conqueror off, on Monday, she
went off, however yesterday Morning and expect she got up
last night; we expect the Chester will be ready before the
Conqueror can get down. We have recommended the Con-
queror to Cap^t Nicholson's Care, as also the Dolphin to have
her Masts fitted. It is very agreeable to us that Capt. Nichol-
son should command the Conqueror, the Moderation he has
shewed is highly praiseworthy in him and pleasing to us; we
had no Idea of either of our Captains commanding Cap^t Nichol-
son, the Commodore goes in the Chester and from his Dispo-
sition we expect the greatest Harmony: we have no Objection
