[Council to Col^o Henry Hollingsworth]

We have your Favors of the 5^th and 14^th Ins^t We know not by
whose Orders you have forwarded any Flour to Philadelphia on the
Account of this State. You should have delivered it over to the Per-
son appointed by Congress or M^r Morris, to receive it at Elk. The
State shall not be at the additional Expence of transporting Flour
to Philadelphia, which will not be received, and we desire that no
Flour be forwarded, nor even delivered at Elk to the Continent, 'til
you have our further Orders or 'til you hear from the Commissary
General.
