Under an idea that the whole of the transportation of Provision was to be performed by the 2. [undecipherable] Depart more keel'd boats have been provided than are necessary for the transportation of the Q^u. Master of Ordnance Stores &c and they being the prece ding season — will it not therefore be proper to sell such of those Boats as can be spared especially, as Kentucky boats are built of Green Timber & thereby a short time [undecipherable] ready. I find that it will be absolutely necessary to build a store house at Le Boeuf — the buildings a rather [undecipherable] that post being both insufficient and insecure — I presume therefore Sir, that application ought to be made to General Mifflin for permission to occupy a part of the public [undecipherable] at that post. P.S. An accurate return of Q. Master of Ordnance Stores at Le Boeuf shall be transmitted as soon as it comes from that Post I am Sir, Yours as the Law.
