[Council to General Smallwood]

We have it not now in our Power to purchase any Blankets for the
Invalids; but we will engage to have them provided by September at
all Events, and earlier if it can be done. As it is very probable that
the Prisoners are now without a Guard, we need not suggest the
Propriety of sending off the Invalids as soon as possible.

Army, which cannot be forwarded from Philadelphia for Want of the
Means of Transportation : We have the Honor to inform you that we
will undertake to furnish Money for the Transportation of them,
