[Council to Colo Henry Hollingsworth]

Sir We have supplied M^r Giles with a Thousand Pounds, agree-
ably to your Request. The Situation you are in for want of Money,
gives us real Concern, as it is not in our Power to relieve you.
We have sent by M^r Isaac McHard two hundred thousand Dollars,
to the Continental Treasury and wish, for its greater Safety, that
you would send with him, Giles or some trusty Hand to Philadelphia,
by this Means you may have a Chance of procuring a Share of the
Money. The Line of Expresses are, from this Place to M^r David
Poe, at Baltimore, who will send the Dispatches to the Post Office
at Bush or Harford Town, to be delivered to a Person there under
the Direction of Col^o Dallam, who is to forward them to you. We
hope your Rider holds himself in constant Readiness, the Time may
be near at Hand, when his Services will be required

[Council to Charles Lee Esqr. Secretary to the Board of Treasury]
