you, we are actuated by the following Reasons; If the Agent of
France, as has been insisted by M^r Holker, had Licence from this
State to purchase 12000 Barrels; we shall have Credit for only 3000,
but on the Contrary, if he was allowed to purchase only 8000 Barrels,
we shall have a Right to claim a Deduction of 7000 Barrels out of
the Quota of 20000 to be furnished by this State, agreeable to a
Requisition of Congress of the 25^th Feb^ry last. We have sent you
Permits to load the Schooners Holker and Morris with Flour for
the Use of the French Fleet and Army and have directed the Com-
missioners of Baltimore Town to restore all the French Flour and
Wheat in their Possession seized by them and if any of the Wheat
has been manufactured, to deliver the Flour produced therefrom
