Yours the 5th was delivered to Mr Robert Potts on yesterday, we
have examined him and tho we do not think him criminal, yet we
think him reprehensible in giving any Assurances to the Enemy of
his being friendly to them to save his Property. On the 23d Ul' we
wrote to you to forward all the recruits Draughts and substitutes in
your County immediately to this City, and repeated it on ours of the
3d Instant and are not a little surprized at your not receiving them.

We now reiterate our request that you will forward them immediately
to this City. We have appointed a special Court for the Eastern
Shore to be held at Cambridge and have requested the Judges to
meet as soon as possible and to call on the respective Lieutenants and
Sheriffs on the Eastern Shore for Information of the Criminals.
You will be so obliging as to send a particular Account of the Barge
mentioned in yours with her Costs we have not procured the Number
directed by the Assembly, and if she will answer the Purpose and the
Price is reasonable we will take her.
