Mr Cuyler D.C.G.P. has taken measures to have Beef sufficient at Newbury for four thousand men sixty Days—And General Bailey asks for five hundred barrels of flour to compleat the supplies for the same number of men, the same term of time, But I have reason to believe the General is mistaken, and that six or seven hundred barrels will be wanted for that purpose. These may possibly be transported in sleighs in the winter—but the expences of the whole magazine at Newbury will be uncommonly great. If larger armies should be in the northern region than the above provisions will feed, they may be furnished in the summer with further supplies. The provisions to be at Albany by the middle of April according to this estimate are to be exclusive of feeding the Garrisons in that neighborhood through the winter. I am your Excellencys most Obedt & humble Servant
