Dr Sir
In my last wherein I reported to you the Military Stores under my care I mentioned the state of the Storage and some other circumstances, as Mr Corrid is going to Town on business I have asked the favor of him to call on you and Enquired if any other disposition can be made from the present situation. Mr Thomas Huggins at Elk with whom the Artillery Carriages is Stored is and has been for some time very importunate with me to move them. I am Sir with much esteem
Your very Hble Servant
