ately to make up their deficiencies of Beef, Fork, Flour and
Indian-Corn, ordered by the General Ahcn Lly to be col
lected for public use; and make returns of their doirgstohis
Excellency the Governor, or to this Office, without delay---
great inconveniences ai ih, from the negi< & of making pro
per and timely returns; lome Towns having made none,
many others arc very imported, not diflinguishirg the diffe
rent quantities of each quality, of Provision —these Towns
whole returns are thus deficient, are d< fixed to corre& them.
It is hoped that more attention will be paid to this matter,
and that in future returns will be more pun&ual and corte&,
which will prevent consequences injurious to the Public and
disagreeable to the Towns.
The Commiflaries, appointed by this State, to purchase
Beef, Pork and Fish for the army, are requested to exhibit
their accounts for settlement; and to order what they have
colledcd to be delivered to the Deputy Quartei-Mafter.-— *
