[Council to The Commissioners for Baltimore Town]

Gentlemen — We have not had Leisure, before now, to attend to
the Several Matters mentioned in the Letters received from you.
We cannot advise you to assume a Power of pressing Waggons in
the adjacent Counties. It will be proper to have the Wheat taken
from the French Agent, ground up and to take an Account of the
Quantity of Flour produced by it and the Expence incurred in manu-
facturing it. Enclosed you have an Order on the Collector of the
Tax for Baltimore County for five Thousand Pounds, which, we
hope, will fully answer your Purposes.

[Council to Thomas Sellers Esqr. Naval Officer Baltimore]

Sir. We request you to furnish us, by the first Opportunity, with
a particular Account of the Bread Flour and Wheat exported by
M^r William Smith Agent for the Marine of France and by Col^o
Samuel Smith, Agent for the Virginia Board of War, since the first
Day of April last
