purchase 200 Bushels of Salt. Send to George Town to Col^o George
50 Bushels and, if you can, put in good Pork Barrels or Tierces.
There is also about 170 Head of Cattle collected from different
Counties now at Bladensburg which we shall order to M^r Murdock at
Frederick Town for the use of the British Prisoners. He also will
want Salt, and therefore desire you will send him 50 Bushels. If you
are at a Loss to procure these Quantities of Salt, you may apply as
much of the public Flour or Salt as will pay for it. We think good
French Salt willanswer best for the Beef, but it may be proper to have
one Half Allum, the Rest French.
