Sir
You may pack up, as soon as prepared, the five hundred Stand of arms with all their apparatus complete; and equipments for fifty horsemen may be got in perfect readiness. I mention only fifty, because there are not pistols for a greater number. It is not absolutely certain that they will be removed; but it is proper to prepare them.

Can the 2½ pound [undecipherable]
field piece be bored to
a 3 pounder? And is there
metal enough to bear it? — In such case I
should be dispos'd to take no more than that &
the three pounder now ready.
