Yours of the 7 instant has been received
Employ armourers upon the best terms possible and have all the damaged Arms repaired.
Mr. Baldwin returned by the way of Wyoming. I shall order Sheet Iron to Pittsburg immediately. You will then have it made into Camp Kettles.
I have ordered the paymaster to send you two thousand dollars for public service.
You will remember once for all that necessary estimates must precede requisitions for money. that in the estimates the objects for which the money is required must be precisely pointed out and abstracts of payment must be transmitted before more money shall be required.
I request you to state the price of the Boat Cand
I am Sir
with great esteem
your humble Servant —
