Major Landsdale will want, from the Public Magazine at Phila-
delphia, sixty Blankets, for the Troops under his Command. We
are so desirous that the Men should have Blankets before they go
into the Field, that we request you will procure the Number wanted,
on the Credit of the State, if the Public cannot supply them, and we
will take Care that the Means of Payment shall be put in your
Hands in a Month from the Time you make the Purchase.
