[J. Randall, Philadelphia to His Excellency
Thomas Sim Lee Esqr]

Sir Your letter of the 23^d of March I receiv'd a few days before
the Troops left the Hutts I endeavour'd to dispose of the Mix'd
Cloths & Shalloons, but could not effect it. they will be sold at
Vendue on Tuesday next and will Purchase white Cloth with the
Money, I fear the sale will not enable me to get the triming³ neces-
sary for them
I shall be detain'd four or five days, drawing the Cloathing as-
signd our Troops by the Clothier General for the Campaign. I am
happy to inform your Excellency I shall get every thing Return'd
for, except fifteen hundred shirts and five hundred Blankets, those
we hope to get from the State. The Returns made Include Cloathing
for five hundred and fifty Recruits expected to join the Division in
Maryland
