[Council to Colo Samuel Smith]

Sir Not being able to ascertain the Wheat and Flour purchased
by you for the Commonwealth of Virginia and seized by the Com-
missioners under the Law for supplying the Army &^ca we request you
to give us what Information you can on this Subject, that Measures
may be taken to restore or replace the Quantity seized. We have only
to add, that Permits will be granted for the Exportation to Virginia,
of what is wanting to make up the Quantity of Flour which, by a
Letter from the late Governor and Council you were allowed to
purchase

[Council to William Smith Esqr]

Sir In Consequence of your letter of the 13^th Ult^o we had Hopes
that such Information would have been obtained and communicated
to us of the Quantity of Flour in the Hands of your Agents, as to
have enabled us, by turning over what was deficient of the 15000
Barrels, to comply with the Resolve of the General Assembly. Being
hitherto disappointed, we request you will give us the desired Infor-
mation as Speedily as possible. In the mean Time whatever you can
purchase, within the Quantity wanted, will aid us in carrying into
Execution the Intention of the Assembly and in answering the Ex-
pectations of the Agent of the Marine of France, to whom we have
enclosed a Copy of this Letter
