on board of the Transports at such a convenient Season, that

within the Capes of Virginia before the middle of September ;
Therefore that there may be no Disappointment in this par-
ticular, I have thought fit to give you this Notice, that you
should provide Transports Victuals and other Necessaries to
be ready at the Port & City of Annapolis in such convenient
time, so as the said Troops be may be imbarked here and
carryed to the Place of Rendezvous within the Capes of
Virginia before the Middle of September
