your letter
is this moment received
within a few day past a considerable quantity of hospital stores & medicine have come to hand, a part of which I have already sent forward & am preparing to ship the remainder but am unable to determine to what post to address some f the articles, viz regs of medicine etc.
which are marked
I presume neither the purveyor or the appocathecary can expect that I am to open the packages at this place and apportion the articles contained
which it is probable are the posts for which the medicines & hospital stores are ultimately intended & which are more than 1000 miles apart
I sent forward the Galley Tender Ross
to the commanding officer
