There is "on hand" more than [[underline]] 60 bbl stores [[/underline]] beyond what is necessary to subsist the troops to Janry 1st. Before that time [[underline]] new [[/underline]] flour can be procured. I therefore propose (with your sanction) to sell some 50 [[?]] Bbl. provided it will bring at least what it cost the U.S.
