prized to hear the Contract was not made with Evans for the whole
of the Buttons which should be done without Delay on the best
Terms you can.

[Council to Colo Ephraim Blaine]

Sir — The Rum which was in this City belonging to the Continent,
M^r Ashmead informs us, was, some Time Since forwarded to Col^o
Hollingsworth at the Head of the Bay and, as he believes, is in Phila-
delphia before this. The Charge for Storage, we have heard is ex-
travagant but as the Rum is delivered, we have no Doubt you may
reduce it to the Bounds of Moderation. We flatter ourselves with
the Pleasure of seeing you here in a short Time and are in the Mean
Time with great Respect
