In Council Annapolis 4^th Sept^r 1779
Sir
We send you 4 Barr^ls of Pork & 4 of Flour; as the Matrosses
are now in the Continental Service, they ought to draw from
that Stock, we hope they will march in a few Days. M^r
Sadler has, no Doubt told you of the Manner of our
selling the Soldiers old Claims, it appears to us to be done
with Generosity toward them and, we hope will give them
Satisfaction. We were not able to Officer the Company or-
dered to Camp out of our old Officers Cap^t Furnival, as he
doubtless told you, declined going to Camp, as did Cap^t
Campbell. It is very plain from the Act, the Assembly had
no Expectation but that all the Gentlemen would have been
desirous of going, the Assembly have not been so explicit as
desirable and therefore it will rest with that Body to explain
the Act, but we do not consider ourselves as either bound or
at Liberty to consider any of the Officers, after forming the
marching Company, as acting Officers of this State. You will
be pleased to deliver the Arms used by the Matrosses & Military
Stores belonging to the Fort to Cap^t Keeports immediately
before the March of the men
We are &^ca
Maj^r Nath^l Smith
