[George Scott, to Mr. John Parks, Baltimore Town.]

I received your Letter requesting I would make enquiry whither
any of the prisoners in Fred^k Goal charged you as an associate in
their Plot. I appy'd to D^r Thomas and Col^l Johnson to know what
you was accused of — and the answer they gave me was that some
person in Washington County had confessed something relating to
it — but could not say what it was.
I apprehend you will not come under the Act for High Treason —
As soon as I can inform myself what is alledg'd against You will
let you know. Let me know what I must give you for Two or three
Gallons of the Rum M^r Neile has to sell for You

Reeder Com^y of Provisions for Charles County
Port Tobacco]

If the Wheat you collected for the Public is, yet unground and
you can forward it to this place please do so as it can be conveniently
manufactured here, but if it is already ground up please forward the
flour to George Town and deliver it to the Continental Storekeeper
there taking his receipt for the same.
It is not with me to fix prices to any of the Articles you mention.
Such provisions as are procured under Acts of Assembly have the
prices of each specie affixed by Law and any purchases made by order
of the Council must be done agreeable to that order. As for Labour
Cariages casks &c you must get them on the best terms in your power
and apply to the Governor & Council for such sums of money as
may be necssary in the execution of your office as none goes through
my hand, for any such purpose
