"To Mr Henry Yost (Fredk Coty)

Sir.
In November last you contracted with the Council of Safety for the Delivery of seventy five Muskets with Worms, steel Ramrods, Bayonets with steel Blades &c, on or before the 1st of May to the Council of Safety at the City of Annapolis and received £150 Curry, per Advance. We are now in great Want of the Guns, and the Time being past we request you would let us have them as soon as possible, or at least as many as you have ready, they may be delivered to the Order of Major Price at Frederick Town. We also expect you will comply with your further Contract for the Delivery of 25 Mus- kets with like Accoutrements at George Town per Month : the Time commences on the 14th of this Instant. We are much surprized that we have not had some Guns delivered us heretofore from your Shop.
