Mr. McDonald is a merchant who resides at Bowley's Wharf in Baltimore and owns a line of land and water stages that ply between that city and Philadelphia. Dexter has heard that McDonald has in his possession soldiers' clothing, haversacks, canteens, wine, and hospital stores that are the property of the United States.
