of the Council of Maryland. 137

[Council to Mr David Poe Q. M.]

Sir This has been for some Time and at present is a Place of Ren-
dezvous for a Number of Soldiers and Recruits belonging to the
Continental Army and how long Circumstances may require the
Detention of them, we know not but must request you to send us an
immediate supply of Pork, we think two Waggon Loads would
suffice hitherto they have subsisted upon the State Provisions which
are now nearly exhausted.
