Philadelphia 28th April 1798
Sir
I have received your Note. The Cannon and Stores sent to Savannah of which you have an Invoice enclosed in my letter of the 8th May 1794 were by special order addressed to Governor Telfair, to whom they were delivered about the 12th of the same month the Vessel that had them on board having had a remarkable short passage — The Supply you will perceive was ample whether any of the Stores have been expended I am not informed of course am unable to Say what addition may be necessary to renew the Store. When a letter comes forward, the wanting articles if any may be supplied — the Stores have sailed for the Brigade at Baltimore. also the Clothing for Captains Blackburn and Morris Company, and also the Supplies ordered for Capt. Nalucons Company. I also the Supplies ordered, for Capt. Nalucons Company. I wish to know whether they are to be insured — we had some conversation on the Subject but nothing conclusive —
As far as I know it will be unprecedented, and I am afraid besides the expence it will create alarm.
I am Sir
James McHenry Esq your most Obed Servant
