Sir —
I have received your favour of the 3d instant — was happy to find that five thousand dollars had so readily reached you — Our river is again navigable and since I wrote, Captain Cook with his recruits may have reached yours — Major [undecipherable] from nova scotia also suggests the choice here, if you will report the Statement you have made of his transportation — Something is not yet arrived — I believe your letter to Colonel Davis — Make my compliments to the Quarter Master general and also to Mr Craig
With Sentiments of esteem
I remain
your friend & humble Servant
