[Council to Col. Forrest.]

In Council Annapolis i8^th Aug^t 1779
Sir
The Assembly have been pleased to appoint you Auditor
General with a Salary of £3000 p^r year We imagine you have
been informed of it in a private way and have formed your
Determination thereon. We should have inclosed you a Copy
of the Resolution of the Assembly by Express, but the Clerk
of the House of Delegates went out of Town on Monday
Morning having first locked up his Papers. The State of the
Public Business makes it desirable an Auditor should be soon
qualified to act. We are &^ca
Col^o Uriah Forrest.
