War Office May 29 1795 Sir It is probable that in providing the timber for the frames of all the frigates some errors may unavoidably take place — some timbers may be redundant and some deficient. Hence I have been induced to adopt an idea of M^r Humphreys of transmitting to M^r Morgan a table shewing what timbers had actually arrived in each yard, and what were still wanting. Such a table is now inclosed, with all the squares blank, for you to fill up and return to me; I shall then forward a copy of it without delay to M^r Morgan in Georgia. You will take notice that the squares marked with the letter C are intended to show the top timbers which are to be of red cedar — If more timbers of one kind are arrived than are wanted in your yard, you will insert in the proper square the true number, instead of 1. The squares you leave blank will be understood to show that such timbers are yet wanting — I am Sir your most ob^t Ser^vt Timothy Pickering [War Department [undecipherable]] [endorsement, rotated: War Office, May 29. 1795 / regarding letter of [undecipherable] / the timber [undecipherable] / and to the [undecipherable]] [postal seal] M^r Josiah Fox to the care of William Pennock Esq^r Norfolk Virginia
