[Council to Richard Dallam Esqr]

Sir We have received yours of the 7^th & 14^th Ins^t A Law is passed
for obtaining a Loan, which will be shortly published and every
Person willing to serve his Country that way, will know the Terms,
and your Friends have an Opportunity of lending the Money due
them from the State. We cannot say any Thing particularly about
the Provision you mention; the Subject is before the General Assem-
bly. By this Time, it is probable you can ascertain the Quantity of
Provision you have procured by Purchase, and by the Comm", by
Certificates, and what has been forwarded. We wish this to be done,
likewise to know what you have purchased, agreeable to our late
Request, and what you may reasonably expect to obtain.
