SIR
have this received your letter of equal date
respecting the difficulties you labor under for a of
proper supply OF forage for the army and covering copy
OF Gen Heaths letter OF the 9th you the sub
ject should be happy fly any inerpositon you
might be relieved from your present embar asment, but
from your well as Gen Heath's letter appears
that the Of arises from the want of cash in your
department, to make the necessary purchases know
of eectua way Of serving but by my advance Of
cash equal the present issue This is not in my
to make you When consider tho continued rapid de-
probation Of paper money which does not bear any
xed standard Of value for than day together
is to be wondered that the farmer refuses to
with his forage at price to be ow fixed and to be paid

credit in your departments You will readily
perceive therefore that attempt any influence
may be possessed in the present case but
amend without rending the public any real advantage
for IL canno<be supposed that the farmers from

heavy and partial tax that which woud arise from the
depreciation of the money from the time of purchase OF the
articles he may furnish you with TIL the time payment
cannot doubt but you will be able to procure forage
credit if in agreeing the price with the farmer you
engage to allow HIM the depreciation Of the money
TIL and this seems out
be attended with difficulties and bad consequences that
do not iorsee will not venture to advise the measure,
though il appears to me, without Mr. Brady could sd
vance to be the only method you can fall upon to pre-
the enhancing OF prices. In short, II Congress
poets the army to be KEEP together they must speedily
furnish money to the different departments, to supply
them with provisions and other nccesssres Without this
all other expediens will fail, and the worst of
