for W.O. February 7. 1797 [S/f of Treasury] By information received from the Storekeepers, there appears to be no more Cordage on hand, than will be required for the Frigates building at Philad. and Baltimore — It is therefore impossible any Cordage can be spared for the Revenue Cutter — for W.O. February 10. 1797. [S/f of the Treasury] Enclose to you for [your] information of the Purveyor, the Copy of a letter received this day from [Jacob Sheafe?] of Portsmouth [N.H.?] His dated the 31 of January ultimo — for W.O.
