Sir.
Capt Conway is just come up from Virginia with the Salt
he imported; he has been delayed by the Men of War lying
about the Tangiers. This Salt would be very useful for the
Army, at the Head of the Bay, where it might now be easily
sent without any Risk and the Salt purchased on the Western
Shore of Virginia might be sent to Patowmack and of Course,
to you, without Danger. Wherefore we think it would be
best, if you are or certainly can be supplied in Time without
this, to send it forward from hence to the Head of Elk, but if
you cannot be otherwise supplied, advise us of it by the
Return of this Express, and we will send the Salt to you.
Mention to us also how you succeed, and those you have
employed in the Purchase of Provisions. We have lately
received a Letter from the Board of War on the Subject. Is
any Person buying up any considerable Quantity of Meat at
Frederick Town ? we expect a good Deal will be wanted there.
