Sir ー

Inclosed is the Packet for the Delegates from South Carolina at Philadelphia which we mentioned to you yesterday we recommend it to your Special care to be delivered into the hands of one of those Gentlemen ー

Touching Moses Kirkland we refer to our late conversation on that Subject generally & have now to add that we will indempnify Capt Little if you Shall find itnecessary to go into George Town to deliver him to the Committee there with Special orders to hold him in Safe Custody till delivered to us ー we will pay any reasonable Sum for loss of time & Insure the Sloop together with Such reward as you may agree to give & as this is a matter which almost equally concerns all the Colonies we hope Capt Little will not hesitate. We heartily wish you a good Voyage & thank you for your good disposition towards us ー By order of the Council of Safety
