Altho' we have great Demands on us for the public Flour, yet in
Consideration of the Consequence the Detention of your Vessel is to
you and relying on your fulfilling your Promise to return it in a few
Days, we have enclosed you an Order on M^r Tillard for 30 Barrels,
and should have given an Order on the Commissary of Ann Arundel
for the Quantity you desire on McCubbin's Mill, but all the public
Flour is removed from thence.
