[Council to the Commissioners of the Tax for Ann Arundel County.]

We have just received Information that the Wheat lodged in
M^r Thomas Tillard's Mill, is in a great Measure destroyed, and that
what Flour has been manufactured in that Mill is so damaged as
to render it unfit for any Kind of Service; and the Wheat for the
present Tax, is now collecting and mixed with the old. Should this
be the Case, the State will be materially injured and the supply
wanted for the Army, not adequate to Expectations. We have
thought proper to give you this Information that you may take
Measures for its Removal, or remedy the Inconveniencies attending
it in its present situation.

[Council to Vachel Stevens, Esqr.]

The Cattle in M^r Carroll's Pasture we are informed, are in the
utmost Distress without Water or Grass, and unless removed, must
inevitably perish. You are therefore requested to remove them to
George Town; if not in your Power to do it immediately you will
order them to some Place that can furnish them with Water and
Grass Sufficient to support them 'til sent on
