[Council to Capt. George p. Keeports.]

Sir We have received yours of the 29^th ult^o and 1^st Inst, and shall
send you by the first good Opportunity ten thousand Pounds to be
expended in the purchasing of the sewing Silk and paying for the
Making of the Officers Buttons, the remainder to be laid out in
Shoes. If you cannot wait for the Payment of our Order on the
Collector, return it and the Money shall be sent you. If you can
exchange the Shalloons on Hand for such as will be suitable, we
request you to do it on the best Terms you can, unless the Recruits
are willing to receive it for the Coats allowed them by the State, and
if a sufficient Quantity cannot be had that way. It will be proper to
engage it as we propose sending the Linen and other Things on Hand
to Camp in a few Days. We shall be glad to know if any suitable
Trimmings can be obtained. The Governor has wrote to M^r Hudson
about the Blankets. Capt. George Hamilton applies for Cloathing
for his Recruits: we have already wrote you to have the Cloth made
up; on his Application, you will supply him with the State Bounty
as far as you can, on his making a Return of his Men and giving
you a Receipt.
