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 re=dundant and some deficient. Hence I have been induced to adopt an idea of M^r Humphreys of transmitting to M^r Morgan a table showing 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 [underline: 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 pro=per 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 obd serv^t Timothy Pickering [Address: M^r Josiah Fox / to the care of William Pennock Esq^r / Norfolk / Virginia] [postal mark] [Docket, rotated: War Office May 29 1795 / requesting [undecipherable] letters of [undecipherable] / [undecipherable] the from [undecipherable] / and to the Office-] [Endorsement: War appointment / [undecipherable] therein]
