[Council to the Purchasers of Horses, & Waggons &ca. in the
several Counties]

Sir We request you to furnish us with a full Return of all the
Horses &^ca procured by you for public Use as soon as possible if no
other Opportunity offers, by the Members of the Assembly from your
County; as it will be necessary to lay these Returns before the Gen-
eral Assembly, you will not fail to transmit them to us.

[Council to Horatio Gates]

Sir Yours of the 5^th Ult^o we received, which was the first Intima-
tion given us, relative to our Supplying the Army in the Southern
Department and therefore had not made a Provision for the Pay-
ment of such large Sums of Money as your two Draughts to Col^o
Polk and Joseph Clay Esq^r which have been presented to us for
Payment, and we are really distressed that we were under the
disagreeable Necessity of declining the Payment, for want of Money.
We expect a considerable Sum of Money will be paid over to the
Treasury, in this Month, and shall do every Thing in our Power to
have so much paid over to the Continental Treasurer, as will answer
these Draughts which ought to have been drawn on him. As we are
at all Times anxious to be informed of the Fate of our virtuous
Countrymen, we shall thank you to transmit us a Return of the
Maryland Troops by the earliest Opportunity, and every other
Matter relating to them
