W Paca in Council to Maj^r Nathaniel Smith.]

Capⁿ Cox in the Flag Schooner Trimmer, just arrived from New
York, has a Number of Prisoners on Parole, on Board. We have per-
mitted Captⁿ John Hanson, John Boone, William Waters, Solomon
Wheatley and William Tull to land, the others will land at Balti-
more. If you have any British Prisoners, we wish they may be al-
lowed to go to New York on Parole, on the Return of this Flag, if
they do not exceed the Number brought in, as it may be a Means of
having Indulgences granted to those poor Fellows now confined in
New York who are suffering every Species of Distress. The Hu-
mane and good Character of Cap^t Cox, has induced us to give him
Liberty to go ashore, but to be restricted to certain Limits, and
request you would assign him a proper Walk.
