I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 15 instant —
You will please to inform me how the packages for Major General Wayne, Col. O'Hara and others are sent down the River, whether in public boats, or the one belonging to the Post Office — if they are sent down in the boat belonging to the Post Office will it not be necessary that they should be franked to save the expence of postage?
I am
Sir
with great respect
Your obedient [undecipherable]
