As Thiere is this day a letter directed to this Com- mittee from the Committee of Baltimore Recd. giving Information a Considerable Quantity of Salt having arrived at Baltimore addressed to Dr. John Stevenson and that he hath ordered a Quantity of sd Salt on Bord of Bay Vessels to be sent to other Counties in this province or to Virginia Contrary to the Resolves of the Baltimore Committee. We therefore do recommend it Seriously to Every Man and Every Inhabitant of this County to be very Vigilant in particular at this Time so as to prevent the Lending or Selling Said Salt.
Resolved therefore that any Committeeman who should of his own certain knowledge or by Information know of any breach of the Continental or Provential resolves that he immediately summon Seven to set as a Committee to determine the Propriety or Impropriety of the sale in a most speedy manner.
Resolved that an advertisement be drawn agreeable to the above resolve and that Mr. William Smith, Aquila Hall, Junr., Aquila Paca draw the same and set them up in different parts of the County.

Resolved, That Mr. Aquila Hall, Senr., Aquila Hall, Junr., Capt. William Smith, Richard Dallam, Doctr. John Archer, Dr. Josias C. Hall, Benjamin Rumsey, Doctr. Robert Lemmon or any of the act as Committee of Correspondence.
Resolved, That the Committee of Correspondence do write to Committee Cecil Informing them of the pur- port of a letter recvd. from Baltimore and also to answer said Letter.
Resolved, That the following is a Copy of a Letter recevd from the Committee of Baltimore and answered agreeable to the Above Resolve . . . above:
Gentlemen : BALTIMORE, March 15th, 1775.
Persuent to the trust reposed in us, we take the Lib- ety of Informing you that a brig called the Sally Wil- liam Moat, master from Bristol having about 4000 bushels of Salt on Board, arrived lately at Annapolis on which Doctr. John Stevenson to whom she was con- signed applied.
Committee to know whither he might be permitted to land the Salt, alledging it ought only to be con- sidered as Ballaste and not intended to be prohibited by the Association of the Continental Congress. The Committee being of a different opinion resolved unani- mously that it should not be landed and not suspecting that after such a declaration of our Sentiments Doctr. Stevenson would act contrary thereto more especially after having publicly declared that the Salt should every handfull be thrown overboard in open daylight when the vessel should arrive at Baltimore, we judge it unnecessary to take any other steps in the matter. We are sorry to be under the necessity of informing you that notwithstanding our resolve and Dr. Steven- son's Declaration he caused the vessel to stop at the mouth of our River where three or four Craft took in part of the said salt as appears by an inquiry into the matter before our Committee last Monday ; and as we
293
HISTORY OF HARFORD COUNTY.
suppose those Crafts are dispatched into different Rivers in the Bay to dispose of the Salt we recommend it to you to use your best endeavors to pre- vent such sale and Caution the Committees of your Vicinity on this subject; the proceedings of our Committee on this affair you will shortly see in print, in the meanwhile we would inform remainder of the Salt left on Bord the Brig, which he says is about half the Cargo, in to the River, and that the Captain has engaged on oath that no part thereof shall be landed any place on the Continent between Georgia and Nova Scotia. Mr. Woolsey of this place has had a vessel arrivd lately from Liverpool with a Cargo of Salt. He applied to us for our opinion whether he might have Liberty to put it on Bord an- other Vessel to carry it to Nova Scotia as the Vessel it came in could not proceed there without defeating the voyage. This we readily agreed to; and Mr. Woolsey has engaged to produce a Sufficient Proof of the Salt being landed at Halifax as soon as that event takes place, & the Capt. is on oath that he will not land it on any part of Contint. between Georgia and Nova Scotia we are with much respect Gentlemen,
Your most Hb Servts, In Behalf of the Committee Saml Purviance.
