of the Council of Maryland. 237


Cloathing that they cannot return to Charlotte's Ville, let the Diffi-
culties of providing for them here be ever so great, we are well
convinced they cannot be sheltered or subsisted at Fort Frederick
the Place assigned for their Reception when removed from Virginia,
and if sent thither the unavoidable Consequence will be that they
will be dispersed about the Country, and many will escape to the
Enemy. The Barracks at Frederick Town are unfinished but if put
in proper Condition would accommodate with Conveniency five
hundred. We have not Provisions to feed those Troops nor can
they be procured in Time, unless we are supplied with Continental
Money, and then we shall meet with Difficulties in getting Beef and
Pork. We request the General Assembly would direct where and
in what Manner Barracks are to be provided for these Troops, and
that such effectual Measures be adopted as will enable us to subsist
them until Orders are received for their Removal. Colonel Wood
waits the Determination of the General Assembly and the Situation
of the Troops renders him very anxious to return as quick as possible.
