[Council to Chas Greenbury Griffith Esqr. Lieut of Montgomery
County.]

Sir We are informed by Col^o Rawlings, that the Company you
ordered to Fort Frederick, as a Guard to Prisoners, marched as far
as Frederick Town on their way, where he met them, and having
Reason to believe that the Prisoners would not arrive at Fort Fred-
crick, during the Term of their Service, he permitted them to return,

with Orders to hold themselves in Readiness to march on the shortest
Notice. The Col^o has Reason to believe his Orders were complied
with and, as the Term has expired for which they were to serve, we
think their Tour of Duty performed. You are therefore requested to
order the next Class in Rotation, to consist of the same Number of
commissioned and non commissioned Officers and Privates as hereto-
fore ordered.
