30 lbs bacon each and one spade or shovel each to aid in Fortifying and 
Strengthening the Defences at Mobile, to protect your home and firesides from 
the destructive invasion of a cruel and relentless Public enemy. You will 
deliver the said property to the undersigned, Agent at Marion on Wednesday the

working day; the owners of Slaves worked as mechanics, will be allowed for each
