Sir

I am no longer afraid of seeing the store destitute of provision. That convinces me we have gained on the people. In feet experience of what occurred to M"" Bagg regarding the flour satisfies me that the issues ai-e not so urgent as formerly. And I think on a partial view, that the people may be allowed to take, at the next distribution, either for the past or future, on condition that the entire supply be given them, supposing that they will not get as much as they have hitherto claimed Therefore I shall be no more uneasy at seeing myself short of one item. But whatever little I may receive, I only hope that the meat which is to be brought me will be of good quality.
