[Council to Col. Isaac Perkins, Kent]

Sir Your Letter of the 29^th Ultimo came, this Moment, to Hand.
We have enclosed you an Order on the Collector of Kent County for
£3000 to enable you, with the greater Facility to execute the Law for
procuring immediate Supplies for the Army. Your Discretion will
point out to you the particular Cases, in which it may be necessary
and proper to pay Cash and we trust you will not do it in any other.
It is most clearly the Opinion of this Board that the Grain and Flour
purchased by the French Agents, are liable to Seizure but we have
desired that a particular Account be taken of such Grain and Flour
and that it may not be sent to Camp until further Orders from this
Board.
[Council to Messrs. Saml. & Robt. Purviance]

Gentlemen — It is not in our Power to furnish you with the Provi-
sion requested in yours of Yesterday. We apprehend, on your Ap-
plication to the Naval Officer, he will grant you a Permit to Ship
the Articles you mention
