War dept June 21 1794 Mr. Joshua Humphrey Sir, The building for making the moulds being so essential no time should be lost in putting it in a train of instant execution. It ought to be framed so that if no further use should be required for it, that it may be sold to the best advantage. I request that you would after negotiating with several of the Imminent carpenters for the erection of this building engage with the cheapest and also contract for the materials and I will arrange payment in the course of a few days. I am Sir &c
