[Council to Col^o Edward Gaither.]

We have sent you by M^r Stewart £35. agreeable to your Request
but cannot furnish you with any more Money, until your Account is
setled with the Auditor.

[Council to John Smith Brookes Esq^r]

We send you by M^r Poole £500. of the late Emission to be applied
in Payment for Beef Cattle procured in your County. This, with
the Money you have already received, will amount to a much larger
Sum than any other Commissary has received under similar Circum-
stances; it will therefore be necessary to have your Account adjusted
before any farther Sum can be delivered.

[Vide Lre of

The aforegoing is the Copy of a Letter we wrote the 4^th of last
month and, as it is full on the several Matters contained in yours of
the 14^th ult^o, which we have just now received; we have only now to
request that you will sell as much public Flour or Wheat, as will pro-
cure the Salt you are in need of. We have sent you £600 of the last
Emission for your other Purposes.
