[Council to Joseph Ford, Esqr]
We have received yours of the 7th Instant, and think it would be
proper for you to supply the Militia with fresh Provisions and to pre-
serve the salt Provisions as long as you possibly can, which may be
made use of in the Heat of Summer when fresh Provisions will not
answer. We have enclosed an Order on the Collector for 15,000
Pounds of Tobacco. The Assembly have not taken any Order respect-
ing the Tobacco in your Hands burnt in St. Mary's warehouses, when
they do, your Account may be finally settled, we wrote you on the
9th Instant and are apprehensive, did not enclose the Law mentioned
to be enclosed, and therefore now send you it, we do not think it
proper that more Barrels should be made up in your County than
may be necessary for the Post
