In Council Annapolis 16^th June 1779
Sir.
You have inclosed an Order on Capt. Keeports for ten
Barrels Powder; or any Part of it you may think proper to call
for, you are to have it at the Price we sold for, that is 407 p^lb.
You may also be furnished with any Number of six Pound
Shot, here that you will want at as low a Price at least as they
may be had in Baltimore. We do not know whether the
Shot may be to spare in Baltimore or whether they will so
well suit your Guns: most, if not all we have here, were made
on purpose for your Guns.
We are &^ca
W^m Smith Esq^r
