[Council to Charles Blake, Esqr.]
Your Letters of the 23rd & 28th Ulto we have received and presume
Colo Blaine has given you Directions about the Cattle collected in your
County for the Army as he informed us in Septr the Places of Deposit
on your Shore were approved of by his Excellency and that Measures
had been or would be immediately taken for slaughtering the Cattle
and salting them down in Bulk and transporting the Beef to the Army.
The Time of year, and situation you describe the Cattle to be in,
render it necessary you should immediately proceed to slaughtering
the whole and salting them down, if you have a Sufficient Quantity of
Salt on Hand, if you have not you should make immediate Appli-
cation to Colo Blaine for what you may want, at any Rate, as many
Cattle should be slaughtered immediately as you have Salt to preserve.
When you have a considerable Quantity ready to be sent off, inform
us, and we will send you Vessels, if they can be obtained
