[Council to Hezekiah R[e]eder Esq^r]

We have received two Letters from you dated the 12^th Instant.
Col^o Harrison's Price for grinding &^ca is more than we are empow-
ered to give, the Law allows only 8^d our Money per Bushel. If he will
do it at that Rate, we would have you send the Wheat to him to be
manufactured; we are willing to give his Price for the Barrels. You
must not part with the red Money but as Specie, and if you cannot
procure Barrels and Salt with the Money, we would have you dispose
of as much Wheat or Flour as will furnish Barrels and Salt for the
Pork you may receive for Taxes. You had better dispose of the
Cattle you received of M^r Jenifer.
