[W. Smith, Baltimore, to His Excellency, Thos. Sim Lee, Esqr.,
in Council.]

Sir I have the Councils Letter of the 24th with permission to get
the 9tt shott from Mr Keepot, for which I am much oblig'd. Mr
Keepott has recd from me 200 very good Soldiers Shirts in conse-
quence of an order for 260 of those preparing by the Ladies of this
place, theirs not being ready; I have ventured on this emergency
to send the above quantity, which were in my possession purchased
to order of the Board of War. I doubt not your Excy & the Coun-
cil will take care that those shirts are replaced to me as speedily as
possible of equal quality, as I have done this act without any
orders, at Least I flatter myself I will be saved from censure

opinion, the said Anderson is a Subject of this State, and therefore
amenable to the Laws of it, and, as in duty bound, request your
Excellency, and the Honourable Council, to apply to the State of
Virginia & request them to send up the said Anderson from Rich-

take his trial for Treason & Barratry. We beg leave further to re-
mark, that Anderson is well acquainted writh this Bay, and has for
sometime past been extremely active in molesting our trade, and
