Provisions, we desired him to deliver the Beef to John Crisall the
Issuing Commissary at this Post. We understand that Philip Casson
Commissary of Caroline County, has a large Quantity of Salt be-
longing to the Public; we would have you apply to him, if it can be
conveyed to you with any Degree of Convenience; if not to be pro-
cured from him, and the red Money will not pass as Specie, you must
dispose of as much Wheat and Flour as will furnish you with Salt
and also Barrels Sufficient for the Pork you may receive. You will
find, by Mr Crisall's Receipts to Capt. Handy, that there is a Defi-
ciency of 8,709lbs
