Sir
I do myself the honor to enclose you, a requisition from [undecipherable: minor?] Sumner for the difference of [his] pay and subsistence between a Captain and [undecipherable], founded on an opinion of [undecipherable] [undecipherable], but [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] I do not find myself sufficiently warranted to act on this occasion
to be arranged in the late [undecipherable: Commission?] Plan as a [undecipherable] also only.
I have the Honor to be [undecipherable] respect, Yours most [undecipherable]
[undecipherable]
[Jos. Carleton Esquire]
