[T. Donnellan, Baltimore to His Excy Governor Lee.]

S^r The 21^st Inst. Received your Excellencys Letter respecting
Fish purchased of M^r Hudson & in Obedience thereto immediately
Shiped on Board The Dolphin Seventy Barrels of Herring for Elk.
While The Vessel was Loading discovered that he had only
Ninety Barrels of Herring & fifteen Barrels of Shad to give me,
owing to some Prior Engagement.
When Capt. Middleton returns will send Thirty Barrels to An-
napolis, then there will only five remain with me.
Yesterday Evening got Col^l Stones Letter desiring me to have
the Fish carefully examined, which shall be done with what remains.
I think more Fish may be purchased in Town upon moderate
Terms.
There now remains only about six Barrels of Meat in the Issuing
Stores here
