[Council to Capt. Geo. p. Keeports]

Sir. We have wrote by this Opportunity to M^r Calhoun to fur-
nish, upon your Requisition, Waggons to convey the Cloathing
already purchased, to M^r Randall and trust that you will not only
have the Blankets, Cloth, Shirts &^ca which you and M^r Randall pur-
chased, carefully packed up, but that you will have those sent you by
M^r Faw, delivered to the Guard in the same State. The Guard is to
be composed of a commissioned Officer, Sergeant Neary, and four
Privates, the Serjeant and Privates are now in Baltimore Town,
and, if there should be no commissioned Officer there, M^r Calhoun
is desired to have a careful Person to command the Guard. Send an
Invoice of the Particulars to M^r Randall and a Copy to this Board.
There are a Parcel of Shoes and other Articles in the Hands of
M^r Muir and a further Quantity is expected Shortly the whole shall
be sent you about Monday next, in the Mean Time you may get
what you have, in Readiness

[Council to James Calhoun Esquire]

Sir The extreme Severity of the Season and the Wants of our
Troops, induce us to request of you, a sufficient Number of Wag-
gons to convey the Cloathing already purchased by the State to
M^r Randall. The Quantity on Hand is not so considerable as we
could wish, but some of the Articles are in great Request, more
especially the Blankets; we therefore solicit your good Offices in
having them sent on without Loss of Time. There are five Men now
in Baltimore of our Line, Sergeant Neary and four Privates; these
might serve as a Guard, if you could put them under the Command
of a commissioned Officer, and, in Case no Officer should be on the
Spot, a prudent Man hired for the Purpose of commanding the
Guard would answer the Purpose.
