West Point, Oct^r 26. 1796 Sir, To save expence of postage, I enclosed last evening to the Secretary of War a letter for you, containing the Quart^r Master's stores return & an additional return of military stores. I recollect there are still not included in any return some laboratory tools & some other things that Lt^t Price had in his laboratory — a medley, some of them valuable in the hands of a person who knows the use of them, & some of them not fit for service now; as soon as I have time I will overlook them & make you a return of them. I am, Sir, Your most obedient Humble servant, G. Fleming. [Received State Dep^t. Nov. 24. 1801. R.P.O. 401310.] Major Sam^d Hodgdon

Description

To save postage, Fleming enclosed to the Secretary of War a letter containing the Quartermaster's store's returns and an additional return for military stores. There are still not included in any return laboratory tools and other things that Captain Price has in his laboratory. Some of them would be valuable in the hands of a person who knows how to use them and some of them are not fit for service. Fleming will soon make a return of them.
