[Council to Capt. Wm. Middleton]

Sir The Fly, a Vessel belonging to M^r Maccubbin, is loaded with
a Supply of Cloathing for the Troops of the Maryland Line. She is
entirely defenceless and, to proceed to Petersburg without a Convoy,
at this Time, with a Cargo so extremely valuable would be hazard-
ous. We therefore request you will accompany her to the Mouth of
James River, or until she shall be out of the Reach of the Enemy
