Philadelphia 19th April 1795.
Sir,
If the public load at Wilmington is not gone on, I beg you to stay any further [strikethrough: attempts] to get it forwards but let it remain safely until you come here from me. I have three waggons engaged for transportation to the same place, one of which will go empty from hence on the purpose of taking in that load in this case you will only have to manage the business of obtaining repayment of the Money advanced to Phelps as those waggons will be supply with the necessary money by me. —
yours most Obedient Servant

Sir,
As the waggons will shortly depart for Knoxville — it will be better now once should be taken as to the contents list or articles wanted at that post. It gives me it as my opinion that one half of the stationary you to sufficient and a proportion what we have previous to meet such requisitions can order at the Store Keeper is only necessary for the Stationary the other articles must be procured elsewhere —
I am,
Sir,
your most obedient Servant
