Sir
I have received your letter of the 8 Instant. If Major Swan has got all his Boxes, the mistake must have either been by Harris inserting 10 instead of 9 [strikethrough: Boxes for it seems no other Boxes were in the load. I am happy to find] in the invoice, or if he was correct, you should have receipted for 10 instead of 9 Boxes for it seems no other Boxes were in the load. Am happy to find the General and Detachment now gone on under such comfortable circumstances. Your Drafts shall meet due honor. Osburn is getting [underline: [undecipherable]] as fast as we can continue to make it part of a load, its [strikethrough: [undecipherable]] [underline: [undecipherable: value]] unportable, occasions great difficulty.
I will make an immediate requisition for Bell Alegres, spike Gunbolts and files, and as soon as received they shall be forwarded. Requisitions request shall be complied with. Enclosed you have a receipt for Musequets advanced to his wife.
I am Sir, Your most Obt Servant
