[Council to H. Hooper.]

In Council Annapolis 14^th April 1778.
Sir.
The fourth of March John Chalmers produced a Number of
Recruits to Col^o James Brice Lieuten^t of this County, to be
passed, Part of those he, about that Time, brought over from
Dorchester where; we believe, he had inlisted them. The
Proceeding was not altogether so regular as we wished it, but,
thinking it not worth while to send them back for a mere For-
mality, we advised Col^o Brice to pass them, if, on examination

he thought them Effective. He did so their Names are Joseph
Birch, John Bandy, Ruben Moore, William Cantwell, William
Beaver, Thomas Bucklar, Peter Cahoon and William Gould, in
all eight, of which we think it right to give you this Informa-
tion, to prevent your County being charged with an over Pro-
portion.
Henry Hooper Esq^r We are Sir &^ca
