[Council to Honble Intendant]

We once more reiterate our Request that the Money from the
Havana be lodged in the Treasury, and inform you that the Funds
appropriated by the General Assembly for providing Quarters,
Rations Forage &^ca for Officers employed in recruiting and disci-
plining the Men, have not been productive, and we are convinced
nothing can be expected from them; and also that we are daily
pressed by those Officers for Money, and have no Means of com-
plying with their Demands.

[Council to Honble Intendant]

The Barges are detained here, at a considerable Expence for Want
of Pay, and there being no Money in the Treasury, and as we do not
know that M^r Morris has forwarded the Cloathing to the Southern
Army agreeable to our Proposition, made to him some Time past, we
request you would deposit in the Treasury, the Money you have in
your Hands, intended to be applied to that Purpose. It it is not
convenient for you to come to Town, you will be so obliging as to
request M^r Couden to pay the Money over.
