The Clothing has been examined, and found in the following particulars not to answer to the Invoice First wanting in Case No 5 - One pair of Woolen Overalls - Case No 3 contains three pairs of officers more than is in the invoice Case No 7 - wants eleven shirts - and Box No 8 wants One shirt - I have duly informed Captain Cushing of these deficiencies, and also, that he will only have a receipt for the Contents of the Boxes and priviliages agreea- bly to the examination - from circumstances I have no doubts, but that some, if not all the deficiencies, were the affect of opening packages on the river for deliver of Clothing. I am more [intensity] employed since the arrival of Mr Swan but hope to [illegible] the last of all my business in about [illegible] that I may then return to Philadelphia.
