Full Description:
Dalrymple and Elliot to Knox and Morris. Elizabethtown. They observe that many accidents may prevent the laying up of sufficient magazines in proper season. Provisions may become unfit for use and be liable to be destroyed by fire and the casualties of war. 'In offering their proposition for the maintenance of prisoners they had in view the 5th Article of Cornwallis's Capitulation. Their anxiety to bring this business to a conclusion prompts this early answer. They will transmit to Clinton the American Commissioners proposal for the meeting of Commissaries to settle past accounts'.
