[Council to Bond and Taylor.]

Col^o Bond & Maj^r Taylor
Gentⁿ
By M^r Norris you will receive £300 to be laid out in the
purchase of arms, Blankets and Linen for Tents, for the use of
Captⁿ Harriss's Company.—£100, for the use of the Harford
Greens has been transmitted to M^r Garrett.
The Harford Greens being first made up, will be first
entitled to the arms and blankets lying now at Harford
(deducting first about 40 Blankets for the use of the
Hospital here) If they leave any, as from their being well
furnished with those articles themselves, there is a likelyhood
they will, Captⁿ Harriss may be furnished with an order for
them, if he stands in need.
