[T. Donellan, Baltimore, to Gov. Lee]

S^r Am Honor'd with the Rec^t of your Excell^cys Letter of the
21^st Ins'
I did not presume to make any conditions with M^r Smith respect-
ing the Flour he Received from me. He told me it must be inspected
before he coud take it, and he also instructed the Inspector, that I
Employed, that he might pass any, but what was unsound, Sour,
musty or unreasonbly Coarse. This covers a Copy of his Rec' to me.
I take the Liberty to acquaint your Excellency that I have great
reason to think that what Flour I have on hand and what daily
comes in, is in General very faulty.

& the Council. M^rs Chalmers is very anxious to have permission to
go into New York & to return, therefore waits on your Excellency
& the Council, to make a personal application for that purpose, which
permission I flatter myself your Excellency & the Council will be
pleased to grant her, M^rs Chalmer's Anxiety to have permission to
return to this State arises from a hope, that the Legislature will
grant her & Children a Genteel Support out of her Husbands Estate,
which originally belonged to her,
Mrs. Chalmers has been under my Care a considerable time for an
Ulcer in her Nose which has some small Appearance of being can-
cerous, and probably will degenerate into one, without much Care;
