[Council to Joseph Wilkinson, Esqr.]

We have received your Letter of the 14^th by M^r Fitzhugh with
some Draughts of recruits from your County, and Certificates respect-
ing Dorsey, Gray and Sedgwick. We would not have you send any
Recruits which you may think unfit to undergo the Fatigues of a
Campaign, they would only be an Expence. We shall therefore leave
the Business to you as you have it in your Power to obtain much
better Information being on the Spot than we possibly can have, and
sending before this Board will be attended with a needless Expence.
