In Consideration of that advantage he agreed to Risque & Carry it Free from Expense - therefore hope youl not censure my Conduct for accept'g his terms when a saveing to Government would Consequently ensue - In mine { Nichols I made mention with Re- spect to the Payment of the troops - it was to have taken place the last week but the want of Cash at the pay office prevents it, however it will soon take place and then shall make the board a Remittance first safe hand - I have now before me the Boards esteemed favour of 29th ulto. Received + Mr Piper and full well observe its Contents - I mean on the morrow to make a Report to Gen1 Poor of every Indi- vidual article Issued together with what remains on hand and likewise what I may Reasonably expect and as that Gent will be able to Inform me of such articles as the troops will be able to procure from the Continental store - I then shall be able in my next to transmit the Board such accts as will enable them to Form a Right Idea what will be necessary to procure and send - but in the Interim I give it you as my opinion that the Linnen & shirts for the officers are gen- erous I would ever wish them to be comfortable but not to be enabled to make a Merchandize of the Favours of Government - youl find Inclosed a price Currt from the Connecticut State Store with Respect to some articles - youl there find what a Material Dif- ference there is in the Prices - Your pleasure shall be mine but especially with Respect to the Wine shall not fix any price till your Future Pleasure shall be known - Whether it would be Improper

for me to be Instructed to Conform as near as may be to the Regula- tions in your sister State Stores is not for me but the board to Deter- mine when a General Regulation is ordered in Camp I then know how to act - but this much I can inform the board in Confidence that it is the clear opinion of some that the West India goods are under rated - youl find Inclosed Mr Pipers Rect for 360 Dollars in Cash & Invoice of 10 Bbl flower which wish safe to hand : M' Piper will likewise deliver you three Beaver Caps Returned as made of old Hatts- Youl be able to Judge whether this assertion is Founded on Truth : If it is I am sorry to find that any Person should be so lost to every Principle of virtue as would wish to Impose on Gent who not only Foregoes every private advantage but Risques his life in order that their liberties might be established on a Permanent Foot'g.
