October 22d 1795.
Sir,
The enclosed Letter and Claim of Capt. Saml Tinsley & Ensn Saml Allenson for Allo of Wood, were received from Colo Carrington Esqr Supt for the purpose of obtaining information. As supplies of this kind are generally furnished by Contractors, whose counts are settled at the Treasury, and as no Allowance for Wood have ever been made from this Office, I have thought it proper they should be referred to you that you might inform the Steps proper to be taken. ↵
I am Sir Etc.
