To the Inhabitants of the States rs
Pennsylvania, New jersey and Delaware.
q'l H E good people of the State of Penn-
J fylvania, and particularly those in the
vicinity of this Camp, having exprefled a desire
of furn ^'rng the Army with the produce of the
country were Markets regul irly established for
that purpose: In order to encourage so lauda
ble a d ft n, I have thought fit to make known,
oat on 'the fecund Monday in February, at
eight o'clock in the morning, the Market will
be opened at the Stone-chimney Picket, in
front of the Camp, and that the fame will be
continued on every Monday ana I hurfdav tol
lowing at that place: That on every Tuesday
and Frida the Market will be held on the east
fide of Schuylkill, near the New Bridge : And
en every Wednesday and Saturday, in rear
cf the Camp, near the Adjutant-General's Of
fice. That a Clerk of the Market, an inhabi
tant of this State, will attend on the refpedive
days and at the places before-mentioned, whose
duty it (half be to protect the inhabitants from
any kind of abuse or violence that may be of
fered to their persons or e£&s, and to fee that
they receive pay for their articles according tc
the prices hereafter mentioned, and for others
not particularly enumerated in like proportion,
