[Council to His Ex^cy the President of Congress]

We are honored with your Favors of the 19^th and 24^th Instant,
enclosing Acts of Congress which shall be immediately attended to.

[Council to Maj^r General Lincoln]

We propose incorporating all the Invalid Soldiers in the State,
and sending them to Frederick Town to guard the Prisoners, but we
are apprehensive that the whole will not compose a sufficient Guard
to keep the Prisoners, who have become very licentious, within
proper Bounds. We would therefore request, if the Invalids of
Maryland in Col^o Nicola's Corps can be spared, that they may also
be sent to Frederick Town and joined to those in the State. This
Mode of guarding the Prisoners will save a great Deal of Expence to
the United States; for we have found by Experience, that to keep
up a Guard of 200 Militia, it is necessary to have double that Number
continually in Motion and in Pay, for agreeable to our Laws, the
Militia on Duty must be relieved every Two Months, and one Half
that Time is consumed in making Preparations, marching and re-
turning.
