{"value"=>"Their country needs gunpowder; they are concerned to learn from S. Purveyance [Samuel Purviance] that some merchants of Baltimore can furnish it, but at £14 per c., which is contrary to the resolve of the Provincial Convention; they do not doubt that Baltimore will strictly observe the resolve, and they hope to be supplied, on payment of 130 per cent advance in cash, with as much gunpowder as can be spared. In the handwriting of Samuel Chase."}
