warded since your last. Whatever you may receive from this Time,
must be stored and detained, until you have further Orders from us,

Instructions. We hope M^r Calhoun will be able to deliver you some
Salt Meat at least to answer the Purpose you mention.

Sir We have just received Letters which make it proper that the
Provision you procure should be stored and detained in Baltimore,
until our further Order. M^r Donellan requests to be furnished with
some Salt Meat, we hope you will be able to supply him.

[Council to Ma j r John Stewart]

Sir We received your Favor of the 13^th Ins^t The Arrival of a
Flag of Truce in Baltimore from New Providence, has not been
regularly announced to us, nor have we any Information of it
that could be depended on, but what has been imparted by you. We
approve of your Conduct in taking proper Precautions to prevent the
Evils that might arise from a free and unrestrained Communication
between M^r Master & his Acquaintances. As M^r Master has Pris-
oners on Board to be exchanged, we are desirous of being particu-
larly informed how he obtained Leave to bring them to this State,
by whom the Flag was granted, and of every other Matter that
relates to it, and therefore give Leave to M^r Master and the American
