[Council to Colo Henry Hollingsworth]

Sir We have received yours of the 19^th Ins^t and request you to
have the Flour sent by M^r M^cBryde, mixed with the Ship Stuff and
baked into Bread proper for the Army or Shipping, without Delay

[Council to Colo. Solomon Stympson]

Sir We cannot conveniently send you any Money by M^r Jones as
the Treasury is in a very exhausted State. We wish you to sell the
Bags made for removing Corn, to the greatest Advantage, they will
probably put you in Cash. The Storeage and Transportation of Grain
ought to have been paid in Certificates. The Words of the Law are
general and go to every Expence necessarily incurred in the Execu-
tion of it. If the Deficiency of Grain was unavoidable -and not by
Neglects or Embezzlements, the Loss ought, in lustice to accrue to
the State, if otherwise, the Persons employed should make it good

Time. We request you will furnish M^r Poe, agreeable to an Order
given him
