Annapolis the 10^th April 1779
Gentlemen
I Came down to have the honour of presenting my Compli-
ments to you; in the mean time call for your assistance in my
recruiting. Congress having ordered my Legion to Georgia
authorised me to the same right of inlisting Soldiers, for
undouptely or by sikness or desertion I'll lose some of my
men on the road, which lost added to the one I made in the
last Campaign could hardly be repared in the southward the
white people being very scarce there, that granted I should be
very much indepted to you, would the Cap^t Segond who I leave
behind, find the same protection and support which the Coun-
cil granted to him last year.
I clame Gentelman for your steem and amity, calling my
legion, Maryland legion I'll endeavour my self to have that
name for ever honoured by our friends and respected by our
enemies, and that way reach to the glory whom I and my
officers are found off
I am Gentelmen
with the greatest consideration
Your most humble and obedient Servant
C Pulaski
the honnourable Council
