[Council to Genl Small wood.]

We are honored with yours of this Day and in Consequence thereof
have wrote to Baltimore to forward the Arms and the Blankets if
procurable, immediately to this place, as it is probable these Articles
will not be down by the Time you mention, and as our flesh Pro-
visions may be exhausted before a Supply is received, we cannot help
expressing our Desire that the third regiment may be ordered to
march as soon as possible and the Articles wanted, if they can be
obtained, shall follow them.
