[Council to Colo. Peregrine Tilghman]

Sir M^r Wederstrandt has represented to this Board (and we be-
lieve very truly) that the Quantity of twenty eight Barrels of Flour,
which you lately seized in Emmerson's Warehouse, in Virtue of the
Law for the immediate supply of the Army, was purchased by him
for some Gentlemen in this City for the Consumption of their several
Families. We believe the Quantity is not more than those Gentlemen
can consume in their Families in four Months. Under such Circum-
stances, we request you to restore to M^r Wederstrandt, the whole of
the Flour, that it may be applied to this Purpose for which it was
purchased, apprehending this Case is not within either the Spirit or
Letter of the Law.

[Council to Mr. Charles Blake]

Sir We received yours of the 3^d and 21^st Ult^o As you have already
engaged Vessels to transport the Wheat you have seized, as soon as
the Navigation is open, we think it will contribute most to the Public
Service to have it delivered to M^r Henry Hollingsworth at the Head
of Elk. We are of Opinion the Flour purchased by the French
Agents is subject to Seizure under the Law, but would not have it
removed, until you receive further Directions from us. We have
sent you a few Certificates by M^r Wederstrandt
