Signed: George Brinley, Commissary of Forage.
British setting the prices for forage in occupied New York.
"The Commander in Chief having taken into consideration the price of forage, does not think it adequate to other articles, and is pleased to order, that from and after the above date, the following prices should be paid until further orders ..."
