Dear Sir
I am this moment favoured with your letter of the 2d Instant – Since last post day John Silvers & John Dunwoodys waggons have arrived with Hospital Stores, Stationery and stores for the Quarter Master Genls &c
Wilkersons waggon with the [undecipherable] order No is not yet come to hand, I have [undecipherable] Lieutenant Campbells Smith to wait here a few ds in Order to take charge of and deliver it [undecipherable] soon.
On the [undecipherable] Instant the Quarter Master General not having arrived nor having remitted money for the [undecipherable] I was under a necessity of drawing in favour of Isaac Gregg Merchant of this place to five hundred Dollars, Payable on days after Sight
Your Obliging Waggoners to deliver their loads in a limited time is certainly very proper and will prevent such unreasonable delays as took place last Year
I am most respectfully
Dear Sir, Your
Obedt Humb Servt
