[Council to Capt. Keeports.]

In Council Annapolis 19^th June 1779
Sir.
Hannan's Charge for the Tent Poles is high, he says it
includes the Iron Work and that we gave him formerly from
12/6 to 22/6 we are sorry that so many were bespoke & that
the cheapest Workman was not sought & the Price agreed on.
As things are circumstanced, we do not see how we can, with
Justice. Stop the Payment of his Account & have therefore

paid him. You mentioned that M^r Calhoun would take what
of the Poles we do not want, we wish to keep sufficient only
for the Tents we have & that M^r Calhoun, if he wants, would
take the rest.
We are &^ca
Capt. Keeports.
