Vouchers for whatever Sums of Money we may pay out of the
Public-Stock, and therefore you will excuse us for not advancing
large Sums in gross.
We are surprized that the Contractor has not employed
some Persons before this to furnish your Company with it's
Rations; surely he will soon do it: in the mean Time, you must
do as well as you can towards supplying them. We expect
to receive Hats and Breeches every day. We ordered 2 1/2
Barrels of Powder to you from Charles County, which we sup-
pose you have received. Lieutenant Steward had 50 Muskets
and Bayonets delivered to him with 100 Cartouch Boxes &c.
and as soon as we get more Arms, you shall have your Pro-
portion.
