Philat Sept 22. 1784
Sir
In your journey to the westward you may meet with public property pertaining to the quarter masters department. I know of no article captured of the forts river that need be reserved for future use. Whatever therefore you find elsewhere you will be pleased to dispose of in such way as you thinks best for the public good.
I am &c
