Acknowledges receipt of clothing per" Sea-flower," (Slocumb, master); has stored it with rest of stores formerly sent by N. Will issue them to troops as needed or dispose of them to the French inhabitants if possible, but the goods are not suitable, will be of little use in purchasing grain, etc. C. has learned that the same stores are sold at a cheaper rate at Boston (N. E. currency) than their first cost sterling, as per account enclosed, Always has a reasonable advance in order to make good such supplies as are "damnified." Has taken receipts for all such stores as are delivered to captains for their companies, or to " Gentellmen here in Garrison" to be accountable for the same at such price as shall be set by “his Excellency or YrSelfe." "A great many of each Species damnified particularly ye Sargants and Centinells Stockings which are Rotten and vseless," as seen by enclosed acct.
