[Council to Henry Dickinson Esqr. Treasr of the E. Shore]

Sir The Distress of the State for Money has been so very great,
that the General Assembly to supply the Officers to enable them to
bear their Expences on their March to the Southward, have been
constrained to Solicit a Loan of £200,000 from the Inhabitants of
Baltimore Town. We are not so sanguine as to expect this Requisi-
tion will be fully complied with and therefore have sent this Express
for all the Money you can spare, to make up the Deficiency of the
£200,000 and to answer the ordinary Demands on the Treasury.
As this Money is to be paid in three Weeks, we have wrote to the
Collectors of the several Counties to make Payment of the five Pound
Tax, as soon as possible, and hope you will use every Method to in-
duce them to bring in the Money without Delay and for that Purpose
request you to forward the Letters herewith sent.
