[Council to Solomon Stympson Esqr.]

Sir Your Letter of the 15^th Inst, this Moment came to Hand. We
send you Certificates agreeably to your Request. As to the Price of
the Corn on Islands in Potowmack, the only Method of fixing the
Price is to call in a third Person to estimate it, in Case of Disagree-
ment between you and the Proprietors. Having the Interest of the
Public in View, you, doubtless will remove the Grain to the Main,
in the way least dangerous and expensive Removing your Purchases
and Seizures to Frederick Town may be attended with Inconveni-
encies we wish to avoid; therefore refer you to the Law under which
you act and which must be the Rule of your Conduct.
