Sir,
The amount of Thomas Holts estimate will be paid forthwith to Mrs Perkin, agreeably to his request.
You asked for 1289.25 cents for the armoury at Springfield. Be pleased to send the estimate and any other requisite documents on which that demand arises.
In your letter of the 19th ulto you asked for [strikethrough: about] 2000 dollars to practise armourers and other demands in the military, the department asks the pay Dt Philadelphia & if Annaly was one of these demand, may not its amount be deducted?
C am upon the best?
