one hundred Tents and as many Tin or sheet Iron camp kettles, which
we request you will either purchase or immediately procure under the
Powers invested in you under the Law which was enclosed in our
Last. The Lead you have ordered from Philadelphia will be very
acceptable. We shall consider the Propriety of shipping in Future
Tobacco to France, but at Present we have such immediate Demands
for Supplies for the Army and we apprehend it will be necessary to
apply all our Tobacco to those Purposes. We shall forward you the
one hundred Hogsheads of Tobacco, whenever we have it in the
warehouses you mention. If you have not already made Contracts
for Arms you will suspend that Business until you receive our further
Directions therein.

We have received your Letter of the 11th by Colo Lyles. The un-
