[Council to Andrew Buchanan, Esqr.]

Your's of the 4^th we received and think it necessary that Arms
should be put into the Hands of all the well affected Militia of Balti-
more Town, and that Guards each to consist of such a Number as
you may think necessary to be taken from the Town Militia should
be ordered out on Duty immediately to prevent the Town from being
surprised and to protect the Magazine and Stores. We esteem it
highly proper that Signals should be agreed on and established to
warn to assemble the County Militia when their Assistance may be
requisite to Cooperate with the Militia of the Town.

[Council to The Delegates in Congress.]

The Treasury is in the same State as when we wrote to you, but
expect a considerable Part of the Taxes will be paid in the Course
of this Month, we cannot promise that you shall have the Money by
the next Post, but we hope to be able to furnish it, as we have re-
quested the Treasurer to lay by the Sum you require of the first that
may be paid in, we are much distressed for the Plates for the small
Denominations of our State Money, and the paper for printing them,
the Prices of Articles having raised considerably for the want of
small change. We shall be obliged to you to inform us when they may
be expected.
