[Council to Mr. John Randall]

Sir We expect in a Short Time to send you Linen suitable for
Shirts for the Officers and Trimmings for their Cloths and request
you to exchange the mix'd Cloth for such as will be suitable to the
Officers, if that cannot be done, that you will dispose of it and pur-
chase the other Cloth. It will be proper to inform us of what you
are able to do. Your Letters will be laid before the General Assembly

[Council to Capt. George Keeports]

Sir. We are desirous of forwarding the Linen and Trimmings for

[Council to Gen'l Washington]

Sir We have had the Honor of receiving your Excellency's Letters
of the 19^th & 20^th Ultimo and 10^th of the Current Month, with their
Several Enclosures, every of which shall be immediately laid before
the honorable Gen^l Assembly, now about to meet. The Recruiting
Officers in this State have not had the Success we wished, yet they
have procured a sufficient Number to lessen our Deficiency consider-
ably and should the Legislature continue the Recruiting Act, six or
eight weeks beyond the Time limited for its Duration, we have Rea-
son to expect our Quota will be nearly if not entirely compleat in that
Space
