[Gov. Lee to ———— ]

Sir Mess^rs Rogers Hepburn and Leeke have represented to the
Council and myself and we believe very truly, that the Flour which
you lately seized in Patuxent River, in Virtue of the Law for the
immediate Supply of the Army, was purchased in Baltimore for the
Consumption of their several Families. That, at present they are
entirely without, and that ten or eleven Barrels, which is the Quan-
tity you have taken, is not more than three Families can consume in
four Months. Under such Circumstances, the Council join me in
requesting you to restore to those Gentlemen, the whole of their
Flour, apprehending this Case is not within either the Spirit or
Letter of the Law. You have a Power to impress Vessels to trans-
port the Articles you Seize, to the Head of Elk and the other Places
mentioned in the Law, and we think it will conduce more to the
Interest of the State to keep the Corn on Board the Vessel and send
it away in her, than to land it

Wearing Apparel &^ca to a very considerable Amount, and it appear-
ing to us by her Deposition with a List of her Losses and the Deposi-
tions of others, that the said Facts are true, and we esteeming it
proper that the Collection of the Assessment of the said Mary Git-
tings for the Year 1779 amounting to the Sum of £269.. 15..0 should
be suspended do desire you not to collect the same or any Part thereof
and if collected, to refund the same
