[Council to Smallwood.]
Sir.
We are obliged by your favor of the 17^th and are sensible of
the distresses you and those under your command must have
been in and suffered by the repeated shiftings of the Conti-
nental Camp. So soon as it is in your power we again beg
that you will furnish us with an Account of the Accoutrements
&c. carried out of this Province agreable to our request in the
letters you have referred to, that we may debit the Continent
with the whole credit it for what may be returned. We may
have granted General Beall leave to take the Fifer out of
Captain Bracco's company, but we do not recollect it, and we
hope he will settle the affair to your and M^r Bracco's satisfac-
tion. Your sending of your Books and Paper to Philadelphia
