In Council Annapolis 15^th June 1779
Sir.
We have this Moment received a Letter from Col^o Wallace,
who was entrusted with the Arms which were carried to Cam-
bridge, dated at Fredericksburg the 13^th Ins^t informing us that
he had heard nothing of them since he left this Place and
expressing great Apprehensions for their Safety. We wish to
know when you sent them off" & by what Opportunity, as there
are 1500 Men at Petersburg destined for South Carolina and
waiting for Arms only. We hear there are some of the
Enemy's Privateers high up the Bay and if the Arms are not
already sent, have them put on Board a Vessel to go under
