[W Paca in Council to Honble Gen^l Lincoln]

The Recruits who were the Subject of our Letter of the 25^th of
Oct^r and the Answer you honored us with of the 12^th ult^o, are
reduced to such extreme Distress for Want of Cloathing that the
General Assembly, out of mere Humanity, have directed that Cloath-
ing shall be furnished them from the State Store. It will not there-
fore be necessary that those which were providing for them in
Philadelphia should be forwarded.
