[Council to Colo. Henry Hollingsworth]

Sir We have received a Letter from the Board of War, informing
us, that by Letters from the Commissary General of Issues, it is by
no Means improbable that the Army will be obliged to disband, unless
the Speediest Relief is afforded by forwarding as much Flour as
possible, to prevent the Distress likely to fall on the Army, and the
dangerous Consequences which may probably attend it. Under these
Circumstances, we have to request your utmost Exertions and that
you will inform us frequently, of the Quantity of Supplies forwarded
by you

[Council to The Commrs for Charles & St. Mary's Counties]

Gentlemen We request you to supply to the Recruiting Officers
and others returned on Furlough, in your County, Provisions and
