the Arms of your Company want a good many Repairs, we

done. M^r Winters and M^r Robert Read are employed to
repair Guns for the Province.

[Council to Stone.]

To Thomas Stone Esquire

Sir. This will be delivered to you by Captain Watkins,
whose Company is in a very bad situation for Cloaths, which

cure them for them at Philadelphia; but if the making of them
up will take up too much time — They may be made up and
sent to Camp.
