In Council Annapolis 20^th August 1779
Sir.
We want for the use of the State, ten Barr^ls of fine Flour &
forty with only the Bran & Shorts taken out, the first for the
Officers, the last for the Men. If you can immediately supply
us with that which is good, made of new Wheat, write us your
Price and when we may send for it, the sooner the better.
We are &^ca

Sir.
We this Moment rec^d your Letter of the 9^th Inst. M^r Jn^o
Randall was, long ago appointed Sub or State Cloathier un-
der the Resolution of Congress of the 23^d March last and by
a Letter and Return received from him the other Day, we see

Cloathing on Hand nor any Means to provide it but what are
equally open to the Continental Officers, nor is any Money

of any. We believe our Assembly expected, as we did, that
effectual Measures had long ago been taken to procure a
plentiful Supply
We are &^ca
James Wilkinson Esq^r
Cloathier Gen^l
