[Council to Mr. Jacob Giles]
Sir It is and has been invariably the Opinion of this Board that
the Commissioners appointed to execute the Law for the immediate
Supply of Flour and other Provisions for the Army might in Virtue
of that Act, seize every Species of Provisions therein enumerated, as
well what might be found in the Hands of Public, as private Pur-
chasers and we have given Instructions accordingly. Your Letter of
the 13th Inst shall be immediately laid before the General Assembly
[Council to General Gist]
Sir We have received your Letters of the 23d Ulto and have made
the Appointments agreeable to your Recommendation and in our
Letter to the Board of War, have directed the Sergeants recom-
mended by Genl Smallwood, to be commissioned in his Brigade,
leaving the Rank to be setled hereafter. Mr Randall will be requested
to dispose of the mix'd Cloth and to procure other more suitable and
we hope soon to forward Linen and Trimmings. The further Con-
tents of your Letter will be laid before the General Assembly
