Sir Yours of the 15^th Ins^t we have received & have enclosed you
an Order on M^r Keeports for the 9** shot you desired. The Quantity
of Grape Shot in the Possession of M^r Keeports is not more than is
necessary for the use of the Fort. The Price must be agreed on by
you and M^r Keeports, who will receive the Money.

Sir We have given M^r Smith of Baltimore an Order on you for
i oo nine pound Shot, which you will deliver to him and fix such
Price as they are worth and receive the Money. We request you to

[Council to Mrs. Lee]

Madam We are very anxious to send forward the Regiment
Extraordinary to reinforce the American Army. The Impractica-
bility of procuring immediately by Purchase, a Sufficient Quantity
of Linen, for Shirts for all the Men, induces us to solicit your Assis-
tance at this Emergency, and to request a Loan of two hundred
and sixty Shirts, which we will not fail to replace when you may deem
it necessary to demand them.
