[Council to Jesse Hollingsworth.]
Sir
We expect 40 Blankets are by this time lodged with you, or
M^r Hopkins Commissary of Stores in your Town by M^r Amos
Garrett, and have sent the Bearer up purposely for them —
pray dispatch immediately with them — but if they should not
have come down we request you will send up an express for
them and detain the Boat until you receive them. If any of
the 18 lbs. are lately come down from M^r Hughes we desire
you will contrive some of them to this city. Should M^r Gar-
ret send any other blankets to y^r care for us, you will be
pleased to forward them to us by the first opportunity

As fast as you can procure more Blankets than what will be
