[Council to B. Brookes.]

In Council Annapolis 8^th June 1779
Sir.
Henry Tarman of the 3^d Maryland Regiment whose Fur-
lough expired the 15^th Ap^l has solicited his Discharge on
finding a Man to serve in his Room and has offered John
Rodden in his Stead, he alleges that he has been long sick
and that his Leg is not likely to get sound for a long Time,
that he has been under Doctor Bowie's Hands whose Endeav-
ours have not been successful and that you know his Sickness
disabled him from being here the 15^th Ap^l. We got Doct^r
Tootell to examine his Leg and send you his Report, which
does not confirm Tarman's Allegation, nor are we desirous of
discharging him, unless the Service would be benefitted by
receiving the other in his Room. We request you therefore
to enquire of Doct^r Bowie and into Tarman's Circumstances
and if in his and your Opinion the Service would be promoted
by it, on his getting you a good Man in his Stead, discharge
him; this is intended to impower you to do so, if on all
Circumstances, which we cannot inquire into ourselves, it
should be best.
We are &^ta
Cap^t Benj^a Brookes.
