[Wrapper/cover. Handwritten endorsement: [undecipherable] [undecipherable] / H. [Williams?] of [undecipherable] / [undecipherable] July [undecipherable] 1791. Stamp: Received from [undecipherable] No. [undecipherable] State Dept. R.O. 40810.]
[Received from [undecipherable] No. [undecipherable] [undecipherable] R.P.4[undecipherable]]
Pittsburg, 11th July 1791.
Sir
I have received your letter of the 7 Inst. — The returns of Stores you mention I have received, but as yet I have had no time to examine it accurately with [undecipherable: Major Craig's?] Books, having been engaged in getting away all our Country Equipments [undecipherable] Yesterday.
I had not slept in all for the last two days of the time, but my labours were crowned with success; for all went off well — I [undecipherable] them from the [Flat?] boats & then left them all well — but the [undecipherable: Horses?] are a dangerous [undecipherable: tack?] & need continual care.
I have [undecipherable] your [undecipherable] returns of Stores [undecipherable], and shall be glad to receive the whole, for [undecipherable] to the [undecipherable]; it [undecipherable] many hours, I many [undecipherable].
The [undecipherable], the [undecipherable] [undecipherable] & the remainder of the [undecipherable] I shall be happy to receive all the measures for the [Campaign?]. I write [undecipherable] for [undecipherable]. [undecipherable] the [undecipherable] — [undecipherable: Draught?] Horses (sixty in Number) shall be added to [undecipherable] [undecipherable], in [undecipherable] exact time.
I received your communications relative to my [undecipherable] [Account?] & replied to it in my last — nothing can be a more timely supply than the Linen Clothing you [undecipherable] of — the [undecipherable] for Artillery [undecipherable] I find well [undecipherable: furnished?], I am glad they are coming on.
[undecipherable: In?] time, and indeed I know you have been very busy, [undecipherable] my [undecipherable], it will [undecipherable] fix your own [Account?] considerably; as much as it [undecipherable: favors?] the [Public?] at present —
Let every thing be done in the compass of your power; for a great deal must be done, I find, by somebody — I have enclosed a letter for John's Wife, — my Wife will hand it to you; please to [undecipherable: see?] it delivered — In haste — I remain;
Sir,
Your obliged Servant & friend.
