Philadelphia 15. June 1798. Sir I have received your letter of the 8 Instant. If Major Swan has got all his Boxes, the mistake must have altho been by Harris inserting 10 instead of 9 Boxes, for it seems no other Boxes were on the load. Am happy to find, [strikethrough: 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 on the load.] Am happy to find The General and Detachment now gone on under such comfortable accomodations. Your Drafts shall meet due honor. Oakum is getting scarce as fast as we can continue to make it part of a load, its [undecipherable: continuing] unportance, occasions great difficulty. I will make an immediate requisition for Bed Allegues, Rifle Gamblets and files, and as soon as received they shall be forwarded. Requisitions request shall be complied with. Enclosed you have a receipt for Musquets advance to one self.
