[Council to General Smallwood]

We receive Applications daily, from Soldiers who alledge they
have been Prisoners with the Enemy, for an Advance of five Pounds.
The Board, in making the Resolution for the Advance of £5., had in
View only those who had been confined in Charles Town and came
into Virginia in a Cartel Vessel. Many who have applied, have not
been Prisoners but a small Time, some only a few Days. We wish
to relieve, as much as in our Power, the Distresses of the poor fel-
lows, but we cannot justly advance to all who may have been Prison-
ers; any of those who came into Virginia in the Cartel, and others
who may have been wounded and Prisoners, who have not recovered
of their Wounds, we would advance to, and are ready to draw a Sum
of Money to any Person you may appoint, to be advanced to Persons
within the above Descriptions, on your Order.
