I am to inform yr Excell: that I have three hundred an odd Cat-
tle still on hand; have sent in Middleton 55 head those on hand
will in a little time be unfitt for use as they are losing fast. I hope
you'll send Vessels for them or order them off immediately as they
will be good for very little in a little time the grass being all gone.

[Colo Wm Bordley, Chester, Kent Co to His Excellcy Thos. Sim
Lee Esqr] (p Mr. Spencer's Boat)
I am of opinion, that it is absolutely necessary that one or more
Boats, should remain at Rock Hall, to keep open a communica-
tion between the Eastern & western shores, I mean that those Boats
should be exempt from being impressed into the public service,
except for the purpose of conveying intelligence, soldiers &c. from
hence to Annapolis. I have wrote this in consequence of Mr Spencers
application who informed me, that yr Excellency required, something

from under my hand relative to this matter.
[Henry W. Archer, Lieut. Legion Cavalry, Annapolis, to Gov. Lee.]
On the receipt of a letter from Cornet Jordon informing me that
there were a number of saddles and bridles in the possession of
Mr Bullen belonging to the State of Maryland, which the Governor
& Council would supply the Legion with if the United States would
give them credit for the same, I applied to the board of war, they
refered me to the financier Genl who directed me to write to enquire
into the quality and price of the articles and make a report thereof.
Thinking I could much better do this in person, and at the same
time adjust some other public business I set off from Philadelphia
