[R O: October 16 1794]
I have the honor to enclose to you another letter relative to the small parcel of Artillery Clothing. An arrangement for a subt quantity of which was made by desire of the Secy of the Treasy. I find that the contractor has undertaken the business very inconsiderately. The introduction of an Inspector at N. York, or not, will depend upon yr determination, whether clothing shall be inspected there or in Philadelphia. But if coats Vests, &ca are to go to N. Engld, it would appear necessary that the Inspector should be at N. York. The question about the overalls arises from an alledged impossibility to procure wt woolen [undecipherable]. You will be pleased to determine whether Grey shall be accepted or not.
