Full Description:
Knox and Morris to Dalrymple and Elliot. Elizabeth Town. It would be most agreeable that prisoners be fed with provisons sent in from the opposite lines. They will consent to fix the value of the ration at 8d sterling, and wood at 20s sterling per cord, under the idea that American prisoners will be furnished with like articles at the same rate. And that accounts may be regularly settled they propose that persons be appointed by the respective generals and be allowed to reside at places where prisoners are confined. Accounts to be settled every three months and the balance paid at Philadelphia or New York. That Clinton should pay £50,000 sterling on account of provisions and fuel from 1 January last until 1 June next. Prices of flesh, bread, spirits, &c.
