[B. Stoddert Presid^l in Council to The Intendant.]

We submit it to your Consideration whether it will not be expedi-
ent to give up the House and dispose of the Furniture and what little
Medicine remains on Hand, the Property of the State. The Rent
which the State pays for the Use of it, will in a little Time, probably,
amount to more than the Value of its Contents
