[Council to Henry Dickinson Esqr, Treasurer of the E. Shore]
Sir It is necessary the Money in the Eastern Shore Treasury
should be immediately lodged in the Treasury of the Western Shore.
We therefore request you to send by Mr MoHard, all the Public
money in your Hands
[Council to John Page Esqr.]
Sir — We are informed that you have a Quantity of Pork, which
you purchased for the Army. We are much in Want of that Article
and if you still have it on Hand and will order it immediately to the
Head of Elk and delivered to Colo Hollingsworth, we will pay you
the Purchase Money and for your Trouble
[Council to Commissioners of Frederick County]
Gentlemen. It is of so great Importance, at this Time, that all
the Provisions procured under the " Act for an immediate supply
of the Army &ca should be forwarded in the most expeditious and
secure Manner and tho' Baltimore is at a greater Distance from
most Parts of your County than George Town, we are of Opinion
it would sooner reach the Head of Elk, if sent to Baltimore, and be
more safely conveyed from thence, and we request this may be done
