[Council to Donaldson Yeates, Esqr.]

Sir We have received yours of the 3^d Ins^t and cannot detain the
Bearer to send our Determination on the Subject of it, but shall write
you in a few Days

[Council to Colo Henry Hollingsworth]

Sir Your several Letters by Express with the Enclosures we have
received and have not Time to write you fully on the several Matters
therein contained. We must have a receiving Commissary at the
Head of Elk and wish you to continue in that Appointment so far
as relates to this State. Whenever you receive any Provision from
the State Commissioners, you will have it immediately delivered to
the Continental Agent or Quartermaster at Elk
p. S. We enclose you the Papers required.

[Council to Colo. Alex. L. Smith]

Sir We wrote you by last Post informing you of your Appoint-
ment to the Command of the Regiment Extraordinary and request-
ing you would be here as soon as it was convenient. As all the Men
excepting the Invalids, belonging to that Regiment have proceeded
to join the Army under General Washington, if you proceed to the
Northward immediately, it will save you an unnecessary lourney
to this Place. Many of the Officers appointed have not yet joined and
we think your Presence exceedingly wanted.
Please to acknowlege the Receipt of this and your Acceptance
of your Appointment. The Commissions will be forwarded in a few
Days
