[Council to General Washington]

Sir We have the Honor to enclose your Excellency a late Resolve
of the General Assembly of Maryland. The apparent lustice of the
Claims of the Maryland Officers in the late Rawlings's and German
Battalion, set forth in their Petition, induced the Assembly to enter
into this Resolve. The Incorporation would obviate Inconveniencies
to this State, in supplying its Officers and Men with Cloaths and
other Necessaries, dispersed as they now are, yet the Expediency
and Propriety of carrying the Measure into Execution is wholly
referred to your Excellency's Consideration and Decision
