[Council to Andrew Buchanan Esq^r Lieu^t Balt^o County]

Yours of the 22^d ult^o was not received by the Board until the I^st
Inst^t We cannot approve of the Conduct of the Field Officers in
promising the Militia who were ordered to Frederick, that they
should be relieved in one Month, when the Law directs they shall
serve two. The Precedent would be attended with very disagreeable
Consequences, for if one Part of the Militia should be indulged,
others will expect and require the like Indulgence. By that Means
the Time would expire before they render any Service, the Militia
be kept continually in Motion, to little or no Purpose, and the Law
made for their Regulation would remain a dead Letter; you must
therefore order the Militia now on Duty, to perform their Tour
agreeable to the Directions of the Law and of our Letter of the
3^d ult^o
