The articles to be issued from the public st[ores fo]r the Frigate building at Philadelphia will be [so nu]merous as to render it inconvenient and a loss of time for the Constructor to apply to the War Office f[or] a Special Order in every case. You will therefor[e] deliver such articles immediately on the orders of [Mr.] Humphreys the Constructor.
