[Council to Richard Dallam, Esqr.]
Sir We received yours of the 8th Inst If neither new Money,
Tobacco, nor Orders on the Sheriff of the County will afford you the
Means of obtaining the Supplies wanted for the Army, it is not in
our Power to place any other in your Hands, at present, and are
Sorry to find we are likely to fail in a County on which we put con-
siderable Dependance. The General Assembly being to meet in a
few Days, may probably make such Regulations as will enable us
to direct your Conduct in the other Matters you mention, in the
mean Time we request you not to make Contracts payable in hard
Money and to forward all the Cattle, on the Hoof, you can, like-
wise what Flour you have on Hand, having just been inform'd by
Congress that the Army is much in want of Provisions, Barrels will
be very much wanted for the salt Provisions, and no Time should
be lost in procuring them.
