486 Letters to the Governor and Council

September 11

[Wm. Hemsley, Queen Anns County, to Gov. Lee.] (Favd by
Colo T. Tilghman.)

I shou'd have answered your Favor relative to Peter Bahan, had
I not been from home.
Bahan was hired as a Substitute by Mr Emory & had disposed of
his wheat to a person in this Neighbourhood for a few old Cloaths.
When I understood how he had disposed of his property, I made the
man take his Cloaths again, and Mr Emory gave Bahan, a Line to
Draw an order on him for the wheat and he wou'd pay it as he sup-
posed Bahan cou'd sell the wheat to more advantage at Anns for he
cou'd not get any money here for it.
I fear we shall get no more of the Draughts in, unless a Serjeant
and a few men were sent over to take them. The Militia Captains
will not execute my Orders, they pretend they cant find the Men.
As next Monday is Battalion day I will endeavour to have them sent
down.
The people here part with their Cattle with great pleasure. [I have
had Nine hundred pounds Subscribed for the support of the new
Money] .

flour and bran from My Mills which I again desire may be done
(Soon) but before you send Let me Know the day you'll be or send
to my Mill and I'll send one to Deliver it the Person you send must
try the weight of the Barrills by my scales they are in the Mill and
the same Scales I received the wheat by and Give a receit for what
He receives otherwise I'll not Deliver it for I'll have nothing to do
with it after it is turn'd out of the Mill House I'll not run the Resque
of it being brought to This Town to be weighed

[Wm Hemsley, Lieut of Q. A. Coty, Queens Town, to
Mr. John Chaires]

Colo Tench Tilghman Aide De Camp to Genl Washington is now
here with his Horses lamed & unfit to travell, he therefore wants
two of Your Horses belonging to the State to proceed on to Virginia.
The enclosed rect will be sufficient Authority for you to deliver
him the Horses, & he will be accountable to the Council, or the Quar-
ter master General. You will please send the white Horse you had
from Mr Hollyday & the Sorrell Horse from Mr Browne, or instead
of him one of the easyest going Horses you have. If you shou'd have
any doubts abt the delivery of the Horses, I will answer the Conse-
quences.

P. S. Pray dispatch the Messenger as Colo Tilghman must be at
Anns to-night
