[Council to Henry Dickinson Esq^r Treas'r of the E. Shore]

Sir As the time has passed, when the several Collectors were
directed by Law to make their Payments of the first ten Pounds Tax,
we flatter ourselves it is in your Power to supply our pressing Wants
with a considerable Sum of Money. No sum less than £10.000
would be worth the Expence and Trouble of your sending to the
Western Shore Treasury. If you can furnish that or a larger sum,
We beg you will immediately bring or send it by a safe Hand to the
Treasurer of the Western Shore, at the Public Expence, and that
you will consider this as the subsisting Request of this Board to send
forward the Money you may receive in future, having Regard to the
Sum as limited above, until you receive our Directions to the
Contrary
