Sir
Your Letter of the 20 Inst is come to hand ー As the Corn & Oats are wanting for the use of the Army, Colonel Mifflin must have them, he will give the price you mention for the one third belonging to the Captors, as to the other ⅔ It is of little consequence what price is fixt thereon, Colll Glover must certainly have been mistaken, when he informed you, that his Excellency was willing that the Corn & Oats should be disposed of at your place, It could not be his meaning, As he knew the want the Quarter Master Genl was in for them ー I wish you would send up immediately the baggage belonging to Captain [William] Fosters people, for they are in a very dirty Condition ー also for such of Captn [Robert] Adams's men as are here. I dont know what directions to give you relative to the Porter, we must Order a Survey on it & judge by the report of its value, I think some Buts would Sell well at Camp, I am &c
Corn 3/4 Oats 2/6
