[Council to Thomas Sprigg, Esqr.]

We have received yours of the 12^th Instant relative to the refusal
of the Recruits to march out of their County before they are supplied
with the Cloathing promised them. In answer, we must refer you tc
a Letter accommodating this, which we conceive will be fully satis-
factory and convince them that they will the sooner be compleatly
cloathed, and accoutred, but should they still persist in refusing tc
march we have thought proper to appoint Capt. Price to receive and
provide for them; he will apply to the Commissary of the County for
the necessary Provisions who will supply them.
