[Council to Board of War]

Gent The Governor and Council have been very much embar-
rassed about the Cloathing due to the Men discharged from the
Maryland Troops. Some few have been supplied on the Certificates
of the Regimental Paymasters, but the Board did not think them-
selves Sufficiently authorized to continue doing so, and the Resolve
of Congress of the 16^th Aug^t 1779, received in a Letter from your
Secretary of the 13^th March, confirmed them in that Opinion, as, by
that, it appears Money is to be paid in Lieu of the Cloathing, by the
Regimental Paymasters, out of the Military Chest. That cannot be
done now with the Men already discharged and the Board are
anxious, Justice should be done them, therefore would be glad to

ing at the estimated Price out of the Money required from this State.
