Sir,
I have just rec.d yours of this date. Nothing remains, that I know of, to be procured for the Chichasaw & Choctaw, [strikethrough: except] perhaps some Steel to accompany the blacksmith & gunsmith tools. Every thing however will be timely provided to-day.
Does Mr. Bell ever provide for the further transportation of public Stores, after their arrival at Manchester? I was going to write to Col. Carrington & request him to procure the necessary waggons. Capt. Chisholm thinks it will require Seven or Eight: I wish for your opinion of the number of waggons necessary that to-morrow post may convey the orders to provide them.
Your ob.t Serv.t
H Pickering
P.S. From Richmond, it is the intention of Captain Chisholm to accompany the Indian Goods, till they reach Knoxville — & perhaps the countries of the two tribes. He will be furnished with a copy of the Invoice which you shall send to this Office.
