[Council to Doct^r James Murray]

We shall be obliged to you to furnish Doctor Worthington, from
the State Shop, with such Medicines as he may think necessary for
the use of the Barges, going on an Expedition down the Bay.

[Council to General Smallwood]

We are informed by William Paca Esq^r, one of the Commissioners
appointed to equip and fit out the Barges, that you cannot any longer
spare the Soldiers on Board the Plater, unless we will engage to
supply you with Money to replace them. The Plater is employed as a
Store Ship and must attend the Barges, and as it will take some Time
to procure Men, which would necessarily detain the Barges; we will
lodge a Sum of Money in your Hands sufficient to recruit the same
Number of Men for the Time they may respectively have to serve.

[Council to The Delegates in Congress]

By an Act passed at the last Session of the General Assembly
the Bargemen in the Service of this State, are to be subject to the
last Articles established by Congress, for the Government of the
Navy of the United States. As we are not possessed of these Articles,
and as the Barges are already on a Cruize without them, we shall
be greatly obliged to you if you will favor us with them, as soon as
convenient.
