[Council to Colo. Henry Hollingsworth]

Sir Having wrote to the Commissioners the 2^d Ins^t to deliver
agreeably to a late Resolution of the General Assembly, to M^r Smith
or his Agent or Deputy, all the Wheat and Flour seized in their
Hands, we expect the Dispute between M^r Veazey and the Commis-
sioners of Cecil will be readily adjusted and that any Quantity which
has been made use of will be replaced. If the Ship Stuff you mention
can be made into Bread proper for the Army or Shipping we think
your Scheme would be most advantageous to the State and in that
Case, request you to have all that can be conveniently delivered at
the Bake Houses, baked without Delay and on the best Terms you
can make. The Act for an immediate Supply &^ca directs the Commis-
sioners to give Certificates for the Expences of Carriage; that is the
only Mode and the Commissioners are the proper Persons to apply
to, for Payment of Freight

[Council to President of Congress]

Sir We have the Honor of enclosing your Excellency two Reso-
lutions of the General Assembly of Maryland to which we beg your
Attention that they may be carried into Execution

[Council to Rich'd Dallam Esqr]

Sir We request you to carry the enclosed Resolution of the Gen-
eral Assembly into Execution. The Corn, Rye and Flour at Wrights
Ferry are in a perishable and insecure State, therefore require your
immediate Attention. If you find no Continental Deputy Quarter
Master at York Town, we wish the Corn deposited by M^r Beatty at
that Post, may be also sold
