Sussex and those in the Lower Counties of this State to be
ready to act in either, as Occasion might require and to enable

yourself at large to dispose of your Regiment in such Manner

Provisions in Somerset County, whilst our Stock lasts, we shall
assist you, but if Cattle could be got and Salt & fresh Provi-
sions dealt out and dressed together it would be better for the
Men, for the Salt will otherwise be expended before it will be
safe to keep the Men wholly on fresh. We have given Mr
Edmondson an Order for one Thousand Dollars.
