[Council to General Smallwood]

Ensign Hawkins applies to us for a Horse, and Money to bear
his Expences to York. We have no hard Money, but if you will
advance him what you deem a sufficient Sum, we will replace it in a
short Time. As the Horse, should you think it proper to furnish one,
M^r Bullen has some in his Hands belonging to the Continent, subject
to your Order or M^r Poe, we imagine, could supply one at Baltimore.
