[Council to James Calhoun Esqr.]
Sir Since writing you on the 30th Ulto we have concluded to
send you an additional Quantity of 200 Hogsheads of Tobacco,
which we request you to sell for the highest Price you can obtain
in Continental Money, Before the Tobacco is delivered the Money
must be paid, which you will immediately transmit to us, as it is
to answer some urgent and indispensable Demands, as soon as you
receive 20,000 £ or more, please to forward it to us. Messrs Langton
& Hammond have applied to us to purchase Tobacco, you will there-
fore make them an Offer before you sell.
[Council to the Purchasers of Waggons & Teams & Horses]
Sir As we are informed that it is unnecessary to forward to the
Army any more Waggons or Horses, we request you will decline
purchasing and close your Accounts.
