Virginia Committee of Safety

v3:1102

As Saltpetre is an article much wanted in America, the Committee of Safety earnestly recommend it to the planters of tobacco in this Colony to cut down and preserve all their tobacco suckers: and also to preserve the trash, stalks, and sweepings of their tobacco houses, which are found to be exceedingly useful in the production of that necessary article.

By order of the Committee:

JOHN PENDLETON, Jun˙, Clerk.
