Sir,
I inclose an extract of a letter from Major Craig relative to the Chickasaw Goods, by which it would appears that the whole ought to have arrived in time for Mr Foster to take with him, had Picard & Waggoner done this duty; as he had 27 or 28 days to perform the journey with his load thence to Pittsburg.
I also inclose a list of the articles delivered from the Store at Pittsburg for the Use of the Chickasaws. I now request you to furnish me with an invoice of all the goods which appear to have been delivered to Mr Foster at Pittsburg for the Chickasaws, that the deficient articles [undecipherable] will hardly reach them from Pittsburg, since they could not be committed to the charge of any person bound to Nashville, subsequent to Mr Foster's departure / may be provided and sent on with the Chickasaws now in Philadelphia.
With great regard
Your Obt Servant
Timothy Pickering
