Sir
In answer to your application relative to the payment of your warrant of fifteen hundred dollars I enclose you an extract of a letter just received from the Secretary of War on the subject, to which you are requested immediately to attend — 'This I suppose will procure for Major Freeman his demand on the Bank, if however any obstacle should prevent his receiving it, you will be pleased to inform him that I shall furnish him with the sum I had ordered him when he calls here for his instructions, and to make no stay in Philadelphia in waiting till it can be regularly advanced.
I am &c.
