I have received your favor of the 22d Inst enclosing a receipt for thirteen Drago's two thousand dollars which will be delivered to him.
I am sorry that Mr Campbell transported the shot in carts before they were proved. I pray you to have them proved, and also those of Turnbull & Marmier, and transmit me a return distinguishing to whose carts they belong of the number fit and unfit for service
I am
Sir
your humble servt
